The Separation Agreement
The Separationa Agreement provides an outline that allows you to focus on terms and goals of what will be worked on and over what period of time.
I so often hear "We tried a separation and it didn't work!" This often translates to "We tried a separation but we or one of us didn't work!" Most couples separate, but have little idea of what they are working on during the separation period.
The Separation Agreement helps couples clearly define what they will be working on during the separation as individuals and as a couple. In addition it helps couples assign roles for the maintenance of household tasks such as bill paying, upkeep, childcare etc.
One of the key components to effective separation, it is often the most neglected aspect of a separation.
