Understanding Separation Separation and Cohabitation Agreements
A separation agreement is a crucial legal document used by couples who decide to live apart without formally ending their marriage through divorce. It outlines the terms of the separation, detailing responsibilities and rights concerning financial arrangements, child custody, support obligations, and property division. Crafting a well-considered separation agreement is vital as it sets the foundation for the individuals’ future interactions and obligations. Here’s how our law firm can guide you through this delicate process:
