What Should be Included in a Separation Agreement

Separation Agreements can deal with how a couple intends to share their assets when they part ways and the child support for any children of the family. This separation agreement will set out their intention to live apart.

Some issues that may be addressed in the separation agreement include:

• What is going to happen to the family home? Who is going to live there? Will it be sold?
• What is to happen to savings and inheritances?
• Arrangements for children: Where they should live, where they should go to school, who they should have contact with

 

Difference between Legal Separation & Divorce:

Separation means that you are legally married to your spouse but have decided to live separately in individual homes. Divorce is when you and your spouse have decided not to be legally married to one another anymore.

What is Mediation?

Mediation is for couples who have decided to separate and wish to work productively towards an agreement. Mediation is a voluntary and private approach to reaching a resolution with the assistance of a neutral mediator. The mediator provides structure and helps you work through the challenges and questions you may face. The mediator does not make decisions for you, but manages and directs the conversation, and offers a structure that prioritizes what’s important. Our attorneys at Thomas and Associates are experienced in mediation and will help to keep the conversations on track, organize and analyze all of your information, and help you understand the possibilities for addressing your goals and concerns.
