Separation

A separation agreement is a written agreement contract that is used to set out the crucial living and financial arrangements when a couple need to separate but is not yet ready to apply for a divorce or the dissolution of their civil partnership.

Importance of Seeking Legal Advice for a Separation Agreement

Obtaining legal advice is crucial if you are considering a separation agreement. Its terms often influence court orders in the event of future dissolution or divorce. If your current relationship is struggling, a trial separation can help you determine if reconciliation is possible.

If you have decided to divorce or dissolve your civil partnership, you need a temporary agreement in place so that matters are taken care of during this period..
If it has been less than one year since you got married or entered into a civil partnership, you will need to wait before you can apply for divorce or dissolution. If this is the case, a separation agreement can be used to manage all of your joint affairs in the meantime.
