The Lawyers You Deserve Pursuing The Best Possible Resolutions

Are You Considering A Separation Agreement?

Divorce can be a frightening prospect. In many ways, you are placing your future in the hands of the judge who will be hearing your divorce, who has only learned in hours what you have lived in a lifetime. He or she will get to make critical decisions about aspects of your divorce that can shape your life after divorce.

There are ways to keep control in your hands, though. A separation or property settlement agreement allows people to come to agreement on a range of issues prior to filing for divorce. Some of the issues that can be resolved include:

  • The division of the marital estate
  • Spousal support
  • Child custody and visitation in some circumstances

Each spouse negotiates for the outcome he or she desires. The final say on these issues resides solely in his or her hands, not the judge’s. These agreements are often completed prior to a divorce to help people maintain a level of control they would not otherwise have as they journey through the divorce process. Made through the direction of our accomplished attorneys, these agreements can save you thousands of dollars in expenses.
