Separation Agreements
In the event of a marriage breaking down some separating couples may not be ready to pursue the finality of divorce or the dissolution of their civil partnership.
A separation agreement is also useful for unmarried couples facing a relationship breakdown after many years of acquiring assets together.
We have extensive experience in preparing and finalising separation agreements, creating a fairly negotiated document that considers:
- The date the relationship ended.
- Financial arrangements concerning bills, mortgage/rent, debts, savings/investments
- Contributions/deposits paid during the relationship and on cessation of the relationship
- Child maintenance and childcare arrangements
How we can help with your Separation Agreements
We can help support you with the preparation of a Separation agreement and offer guidance to you to consider what arrangements you wish for it to cover to ensure the content is comprehensive and to avoid ambiguity and potential future conflict on the breakdown of your relationship.
