Separation Agreements

Separation Agreements can help to regulate what will happen in terms of your property, assets and income by recording any agreement that you have reached in writing. The Agreement will set out the financial position of both of you and will record what it is that you both want to happen with your assets, income and any liabilities.

The Legal Requirements for a Separation Agreement:

• Your partner must be prepared to take independent legal advice.
• You must be prepared to fully disclose your financial position to your partner and vice versa.
• You must both be able to agree upon the contents of the document.
• The agreement must be fair and neither party should be under any undue pressure to enter into it.
• You should appreciate that a Separation Agreement will not necessarily be legally binding although adhering to the above requirements will increase the chances of it being upheld in the future.

Whilst not the nicest of thoughts, it may sometimes be useful to think about producing a Cohabitation Agreement when entering into new relationships to ensure that all your assets are protected should anything happen in the future.
