Separation agreement is an umbrella term used to describe a written contract entered into by the spouse to resolve some or all of the problems arising from their marital separation. A separation agreement can be a simple agreement setting the date of separation of the parties, or it can deal with broader issues, including custody, child custody, maintenance and/or division of marital property and debts. Whether or not you respond to your spouse`s or domestic partner`s request for divorce or legal separation, you can always draft an agreement. A calm, calm and objective approach to the problem could help the parties deal with the situation, but this is not always the case. In the absence of a law requiring a party to sign a separation agreement, either party may refuse to sign the separation agreement. A controversial divorce is underway if your spouse disagrees on some of the issues raised by the separation. Where a separation agreement was a divorce order, the agreement will remain valid and can be implemented, separately and separately from the provisions of the divorce decree. In such circumstances, a court may not amend the provisions of the separation agreement concerning maintenance unless the person requesting an amendment is “extremely harsh” and it becomes more difficult to amend the child support provisions set out in the separation agreement. . .
