A Separation Agreement is a private contract between spouses who have decided to separate or divorce. A Separation Agreement outlines various terms and agreements related to issues such as property division, alimony, child custody, child support, and more. The Separation Agreement is negotiated and agreed upon by both parties, and it can be as detailed as necessary to cover all aspects of their separation.
Both parties enter into a SeparationAagreement voluntarily, and the terms are typically agreed upon through negotiation and compromise.
Separation Agreement v. Court Order
A Separation Agreement is a private contract negotiated between the parties, while a court order is a legal ruling issued by a judge. While both documents can address similar issues, court orders are typically sought when parties are unable to reach a separation agreement on their own.
