When a marriage fails, you do not need to go through the long and painful process of a contested divorce to determine the terms of your separation. Instead of entering into a judicial process, parties can work out their future relationship amongst themselves and bind themselves to those terms through a separation agreement. This agreement works both to sever the marital obligations between the parties and to settle issues of custody, maintenance, and the disposition of marital property – all without the intervention of a judicial process or adjudication.
Separation agreements provide spouses the liberty to solve their marital disputes without being constrained by the form and formulae of the legal system. As an alternative to divorce, separation agreements are comparatively less expensive and time consuming than the divorce proceedings. The process of resolving disputes through a settlement agreement can also lead to future reconciliation, by giving the parties a chance to disentangle and distance themselves from the marriage without the collateral damage or irreversibility of a judicial process.
