Separation Agreements

A legal separation is a viable option for a married couple who is considering a no-fault divorce, and may need time apart to contemplate whether they may reconcile in the distant future or terminate the marriage. A separation agreement is a legal contract in which both spouses agree to live separately. It may include provisions regarding custody, child support, spousal support, equitable distribution and visitation. After complying with this agreement for 1 year, the couple can then begin the process of terminating their marriage and obtaining a divorce.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract between two parties who are engaged and are about to become married. Whereas, a postnuptial agreement, is a legal contract between two parties who are married.

Both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are becoming increasingly popular, particularly with more people getting married later in life (when they already own property or assets) or who have been married before and already have children. It is important to remember that a prenuptial agreement or a postnuptial agreement is not a sign that your marriage will end or that your spouse does not trust you. Often these agreements are very useful and can provide both spouses with peace of mind and financial security for the future.
