Separation agreements

Separation Agreements are usually one of the first steps couples take when they have decided to move from one to two economic units. Separation Agreements allow people to negotiate what matters to them. These agreements can set out almost every important aspect of the new living arrangements, including:

• Dividing up the assets
• Determining primary decision-making for children
• Calculating spousal support.

When most people think of divorce, they often think of court. For most separating relationships, however, a reasonably negotiated separation agreement means they can avoid decisions by a Judge in a courtroom. To ensure that you are properly advised of your rights and entitlements, you need an experienced legal team.
