Marital Settlement Agreements and Separation Agreements
Marital Settlement Agreements (MSAs) and Separation Agreements are essential tools for couples who wish to outline the terms of their divorce or separation in a clear and legally binding manner. These agreements can help avoid lengthy litigation by providing a framework for resolving issues such as property division, support, and custody. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping you draft, review, and negotiate these agreements to ensure your interests are protected and your rights are upheld.
Understanding Marital Settlement Agreements and Separation Agreements
Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA): An MSA is a legally binding contract between spouses that outlines the terms of their divorce. It addresses all aspects of the divorce, including the division of assets and debts, spousal support, child custody, and child support. Once approved by the court, the MSA becomes part of the final divorce decree.
Separation Agreement: A Separation Agreement is a contract between spouses who choose to live separately without immediately divorcing. It can cover similar issues as an MSA, such as property division and support, providing a temporary or long-term solution while the couple is separated.
Benefits of Marital Settlement and Separation Agreements
Clarity and Certainty: These agreements provide clear guidelines for both parties, reducing confusion and potential conflicts.
Flexibility: Couples can tailor agreements to fit their unique circumstances and preferences.
Time and Cost Savings: By reaching an agreement outside of court, parties can avoid the time and expense of litigation.
Control Over Outcomes: Couples have more control over the terms of their agreement rather than leaving decisions up to a judge.
