What Are the Benefits of Entering into a Marital Separation Agreement?
By setting forth your agreement on issues such as the distribution of marital property, alimony, and child support, you can substantially reduce the cost and time required to obtain a divorce. You can also avoid the stress and uncertainty of having complete strangers decide these important issues. In addition, couples frequently find that by entering into an agreement, they decrease the bitterness and animosity that frequently arises in divorce. Several studies have shown that on average, couples who sign marital separation agreements reduce the cost of divorce by more than 65%.
