Separation agreements play a pivotal role in the process of a marital or de facto relationship breakdown, allowing both parties to formally outline the terms of their separation in a clear, legally binding document. We specialise in crafting separation agreements that address all facets of your separation.
The role of separation agreements
A separation agreement is a legal contract between parties who are separated or intending to separate, detailing the arrangements for issues such as property division, spousal maintenance, child support, and custody arrangements. These agreements offer a way to resolve these matters without the need for court intervention, promoting a cooperative approach to separation.
Benefits of separation agreements
- Clarity and certainty: provides a clear record of the agreements reached on various matters, offering certainty and peace of mind.
- Cost-effective: minimises legal costs by resolving matters out of court.
- Flexibility: allows for customised arrangements that suit the unique needs of your family.
- Privacy: keeps the details of your separation and financial arrangements private, unlike court orders which are public records.
- Enforceability: once made legally binding, these agreements are enforceable by law, offering security to both parties.
