This is an important consideration, especially if you have any reason to believe that your spouse may not comply with your separation agreement in the future. If your separation agreement is not created in a certain way, the courts may set it aside all or part of it should any problems arise in the future.
The following aspects must be complied with during the drafting of a separation agreement:
- Both spouses must provide full and truthful financial disclosure
- There cannot be any undue pressure, and it the process of creating the document must be fair
- Both you and your spouse must understand the provisions of the document
If you are worried about complying with any of these requirements, it is best to speak with a family law lawyer to ensure that your separation agreement will be valid.
