Separation Agreements

A separation agreement is a legal document created when a couple decides to live apart but not yet divorce. It outlines the terms of their separation, addressing key issues like child custody, support, property division, and debts. The agreement helps both parties understand their rights and responsibilities, aiming to prevent conflicts during the transition. While it can be informal, it's often recommended to have it reviewed by a lawyer to ensure it complies with the law and protects both parties’ interests. This document can be used in court if either party seeks a divorce in the future.
