In some circumstances it may be appropriate to consider a formal separation agreement. The agreement is a formal document that, if ever disputed, shows to the Court a demonstration of the parties’ intentions at the time of separation.
When preparing a separation agreement, a set procedure must be followed. This is imperative to ensure the document carries sufficient weight to be given serious consideration by the Court.
A separation agreement is not legally binding. This means that the Court is not obliged to follow its terms. It is therefore important to be aware that separation, no matter the length of time, for married couples or civil partners does not end the financial obligations of either party.
