Separation Agreements

Separation Agreements, Alton

Separation agreements are often utilised when a relationship has irretrievably broken down, but the couple does not want to divorce immediately. Also known as a Deed of Separation, separation agreements are legally binding and outline the obligations and rights of each party regarding future arrangements for various aspects of your marriage or civil partnership.

Each separation agreement will look slightly different. However, there are several common aspects to be covered, including:

• What happens to shared property.
• What happens to personal items.
• What happens to joint debts.
• What should happen regarding financial maintenance payments.
• What will happen in terms of your child(ren)’s care.
• What provisions there are for divorce.
• Other relevant information.

For example, a divorce court will adhere to the terms of a separation agreement when addressing finances, provided the Deed meets specific conditions. One such condition is that the financial settlement outlined in the agreement aligns with the scope of a reasonable financial resolution. Another condition is that each party should instruct independent legal advice when the Deed is being drafted. With this, Bookers & Bolton will work closely with the other parties’ legal team to ensure all wishes are met where possible.
