A separation agreement is a private contract between spouses who have decided to separate or divorce. It outlines various terms and agreements related to issues such as property division, alimony, child custody, child support, and more. The 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 separation agreement 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 an agreement on their own. Separation Agreements are enforceable contracts and court orders can be enforced by the court’s contempt proceedings.
