Are you considering getting a
separation? If so, you may need to get a
separation agreement drafted up by a legal professional.
Although a separation agreement does not mean you will definitely get a
divorce, it does set some legal boundaries as far as support, custody, property
division and debts go. It is a legal contract between the two married
parties that is binding once accepted by the court. Although you could
draft your own separation agreement, it is best to utilize a family law
attorney to write one for you.
In such an agreement, it is possible to separate your property, including
both real property, tangible property and personal property. Items such
as cars, jewelry, land, buildings, stocks and bonds, and bank accounts
can all be separated in a separation agreement. Should you decide to null
your agreement and resume with your marriage, you will need to draft another
document stating your intention to do so.
