Crafting Strong Separation Agreements

A separation agreement is handled very similarly to a divorce agreement. The major difference being that a separation agreement has the potential to be temporary or permanent. A couple may choose to reconcile after a period of separation and decide to amend the agreement as a postnuptial agreement. Or a couple may choose to divorce after a period of separation and use this agreement to shorten the divorce process.

You can address almost every aspect of your separation in this document. Common factors couples choose to address are:

• Property division
• Spousal support
• Child custody
• Child support

It is important that your separation agreement be tailored to your unique family situation. Our attorneys take the time to get to know you and what is most important to you, so we can create an agreement that addresses your needs and upholds your family's best interests.

Although separation is often a first step toward divorce, it allows a couple to work through the important issues addressed in a separation agreement while maintaining the benefits of marriage, including better tax rates. Separation rather than divorce makes it much easier to reunite as a couple if you choose to do so. It also makes it easier to divorce because you have already done most of the work by having a separation agreement.
