What is a Separation Agreement?
A separation agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the terms of a couple’s separation. It serves as a mutual contract between spouses, addressing issues such as:
- Division of assets and debts
- Child custody and parenting arrangements
- Spousal and child support
- Use of the matrimonial home
While it is not required by law to have a separation agreement before filing for divorce, it is highly recommended as it provides clarity and prevents future disputes.
