Marital Separation Agreements

Family Law - Marital Separation Agreements

Definition:

A marital separation agreement or property settlement agreement is a contract dividing a married couple's property, rights each spouse has, and the settlement of alimony and custody problems. A marital separation agreement may be drafted before or after one files for divorce and even while the spouses are still living together.

Consequences of Marital Separation Agreements:

Without a marital separation agreement, it will be very difficult for people to divide marital property, joint debts, and take care of child support and custody issues. It is important to have a marital separation agreement if a couple wants to take care of all the details of the ending of their relationship. Without a marital separation agreement, issues of child custody, spousal support, debts, taxes and other pertinent issues will be difficult to solve.
