Separation Agreements at Cohen Highley LLP
Separation Agreements
A Separation Agreement is a legally binding document that covers major decisions like living arrangements, decision making responsibility and parenting time, division of assets, and support payments. Implementing a proper Separation Agreement is an essential step when a couple (legally married or common law) decides to live apart. Although the content of the agreement may be collaborative, it is best written by a lawyer; moreover, both parties must retain independent legal counsel to review and sign the document and advise the individuals of their legal rights and responsibilities.
