Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are going through a divorce and have children may find this agreement essential for outlining custody arrangements and child support obligations. By clearly defining these terms, both parties can avoid future disputes and ensure the children's best interests are prioritized.
  • Situations requiring a clear division of marital property can benefit from this agreement. Couples can use it to specify how assets and debts will be divided, which can help streamline the divorce process and reduce potential conflicts over property.
  • For those who need to establish alimony payments, this agreement provides a structured way to declare any financial support that one spouse will provide to the other post-divorce. This clarity can help both parties plan their finances moving forward.

  • Parents who want to avoid future conflicts regarding their children's upbringing can use this agreement to outline their respective rights and duties. By addressing these issues upfront, they can create a more cooperative co-parenting environment.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for couples without children, as it specifically addresses child custody and support issues. Couples in such situations may need a different type of separation agreement.
  • โ€“ If one party is seeking a divorce based on fault grounds, such as adultery or abuse, this form may not adequately address the complexities involved in such cases. Legal representation is recommended in these scenarios.
  • โ€“ In situations where there is significant disagreement over property division or custody arrangements, this form may not be sufficient. Couples may need to seek mediation or court intervention to resolve their disputes.
  • โ€“ For individuals who are not legally married, this agreement is not applicable. Unmarried couples may need to explore different legal options to address their property and custody issues.
  • โ€“ If either party is under duress or coercion when signing the agreement, it may not be enforceable. Both parties should enter into the agreement voluntarily and with full understanding of its terms.
