Property Settlements
Definition:
A property settlement agreement, also known as a marital separation agreement, is a contract that lists and divides the marital property and financial obligations of a couple. A property settlement includes the terms of a divorce, property division, debt division, child support, child custody and alimony.
Consequences of Property Settlements:
Property settlement agreements are not required, but they do have advantages. Without a property settlement, there may be ambiguities as to how the couple's property will be divided. A property settlement is also a way for a couple to avoid going to court because judges typically honor the agreement if it covers all aspects of the divorce. Property settlements can be complicated, however, especially when it comes to couples who split after many years.What a Lawyer can do for you:
