Marital Settlement Agreement

A Marital Settlement Agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms of the separation or divorce between spouses. It includes decisions about property division, spousal support, child custody, and visitation rights. This agreement helps both parties reach an understanding and provide clarity on their responsibilities and rights after the marriage ends. It's often submitted to the court for approval, making it a binding contract once finalized. Having such an agreement can simplify the divorce process and minimize conflicts, allowing both parties to move forward more amicably.
