There are many cases where divorce is not an appropriate solution for the parties involved. Whenever there are doubts that divorce or the end of your marriage is the absolute option, you can use a Separation Agreement.

This agreement allows a married couple to separate, but not divorce. The terms and conditions of the separation are outlined in the agreement and require both parties to agree to the terms before the document is signed. The separation agreement usually includes duties such as; who is responsible for the mortgage, what the living arrangements will be, maintenance, property, finances, and child care/support.

Why Use a Separation Agreement

Separation Agreements are often used when parties do not wish to divorce (for whatever reason) but would still like to make formal arrangements regarding their finances.
