We Help Execute Separation Agreements in Baltimore, Rockville, Potomac, Bethesda & the Surrounding Areas
A separation agreement, once executed, is an enforceable and legally binding contract. Whether parties are physically separating from each other or are looking to separate their property, financial, or other obligations, a separation agreement can clearly set forth the respective rights and obligations of each party.
A separation agreement may contain provisions regarding:
- Child custody
- Child access
- Child support
- Alimony
- Spousal support
- Property division
- Division of debts
- Insurance
- Pension plans
- Retirement plans
- Business interests
- Financial accounts
- Payments for expenses
- Tax issues
- Attorney fees
The agreement sets out the understanding between the parties, establishes rights and settles issues. The parties do not have to file the separation agreement with the court in order for it to be enforceable as a contract. A clearly written agreement can help avoid misunderstandings.

How Are Separation Agreements Created?
Separation agreements are created by the parties, often with the assistance of a separate lawyer representing each party. The parties may negotiate the terms of the agreement with the help of legal counsel. In some cases, they may participate in an alternative dispute resolution process such as mediation or collaborative law in order to develop a comprehensive agreement.
