A separation agreement settles all the issues ( property division , alimony , child custody & CS ) that need to be decided in the event of divorce . It is much less expensive than going to court and having a judge decide . They should be as detailed as possible to prevent future misunderstandings and also be based on your state's laws . You can have a lawyer check over her offer and make counteroffers or request mediation to clear up any disagreements . Some things to consider : 1. No alimony/spousal support/maintenance as it's a short term marriage . 2. A detailed parenting plan , DO NOT accept liberal visitation as agreed by the parties . 3. CS as per state guidelines . 4. 50% of all marrital assets/ debts . |
