Separation Agreements

Virginia Separation Agreement and Pre-Nuptial Lawyers

If you are thinking about getting a divorce, consider these questions:

• Could you discuss important issues with your spouse under the guidance of an experienced attorney?
• Do you and your spouse have a prenuptial agreement?
• Do you want to avoid court as much as possible?
• Are you concerned about a judge deciding important custody and visitation issues?

Depending upon the answers to these questions, a separation agreement may be a viable option.

A separation agreement is the product of an uncontested divorce and outlines a couple's mutual agreement on such matters as child custody and visitation, spousal support, property division and all other issues associated with the dissolution of marriage. Like a prenuptial agreement, a separation agreement lays the groundwork for a smooth separation and helps avoid bitter court battles that can take months to complete and cost you thousands of dollars.
