A Marriage Separation Agreement is used by spouses who no longer feel they can live together as husband and wife and have reached a mutual agreement on how to resolve disputed matters in their separation. It is important to determine if you and your spouse wish to proceed with a legal separation or a divorce action prior to completing this agreement. A legal separation will allow you to live separate and apart and make a final determination regarding the division of your assets, debts and other important matters, but will maintain the marriage relationship.
Our simple interview process will walk you through a Marriage Separation Agreement that can be submitted as part of your Petition for Legal Separation to the court. This Agreement can also be used as a starting point for settlement negotiations between disputing spouses. In order to finalize your legal separation you will need to file a formal action with your county Clerk of Court.
**IMPORTANT: This form should not be used by residents of South Dakota and North Carolina as these states do not recognize legal separations. If you have reached an agreement and want to proceed with a divorce please use Rocket Lawyer's Find a Lawyersearch engine.
