Separation Agreement
A Separation Agreement
is a formal written agreement entered into by a married couple who wish
to record the financial agreement that they have reached dealing with
the financial consequences of their decision to separate. There is no
requirement to formally record a Separation Agreement. Where a financial
agreement has been reached it can give both spouses a degree of protection
if that agreement is recorded in a legal document.
Such an agreement would normally be upheld by the courts but could be
set aside if there had been a significant change in one party's circumstances.
Where the terms of the agreement seem to favour one party rather than
the other, it is important for both parties to obtain independent legal
advice to avoid a claim by one party that he/she was forced to sign
it accepting unfair terms.
This straightforward
agreement deals with financial matters such as lump sum payments and
maintenance payments for the spouse and any children. There is an option
to include arrangements for the disposal of the house by sale only and
an option to include a timetable for divorce.
The agreement is suitable for use
in England, Wales and Scotland and includes the following clauses:
- divorce proceedings
- lump sum payment
- periodical payments
- child maintenance
- school fees
- property
- costs
- schedule of income, property and financial resources of both parties.
