Separation Agreements in North Carolina can be a civil way to divide marital assets, custody and provide future management of your relationship.
John Walker provides a separation agreement for $400. If you and your
spouse have no marital property, or no joint debts, and no children,
a marital separation agreement may not be necessary and you may need
only a simple, no-contest divorce.
A separation agreement, (property settlement agreement), is a legally binding contract in writing dividing the assets, responsibilities and debts between you and your spouse. The agreement clarifies the rights of the parties for custody, alimony and child support so that each spouse experiences a fair separation from the other. A separation agreement may be drawn before or after we have filed your divorce.
Other reasons for a separation agreement are if you want to provide for the future management of your relationship, or provide additional evidence to the court about the day you have separated.
At the Divorce Clinic, we encourage both parties in the marriage to
carefully consider their positions and work together forming a complete
agreement to avoid any future issues or questions as to what's fair.
When you sign your separation agreement, you do not have to file the agreement with the Court to be effective - it simply is a contract between you and your spouse. Later, if your spouse violates the agreement then you can seek enforcement in the court.
A separation agreement will give clarity to what your relation will be with your spouse and will leave no doubt about the ending details of your marriage relationship, especially when it is clearly written by John Walker. Relying upon verbal understandings can to frequently create misunderstandings in the future.
