Entering into a separation agreement without the advice of experienced counsel can result in a deal with terrible, long-lasting financial and legal consequences. Make sure your interests are protected—never sign a separation agreement without at least reviewing it with an experienced family law attorney.
Prior to getting divorced, spouses often enter into a separation agreement. A separation agreement can specify how they will divide their property and debts, how they will provide for their children, and whether spousal support is necessary. Once an agreement is in place, the divorce can proceed more efficiently.
