Family Law
Separation Agreements

In situations where parties agree to the marital issues, they should sign a separation agreement to commemorate the actual agreement of the parties. You will not be able to enforce any oral agreements, so make sure it's in writing.

There are separation agreement forms available online through various sources. You should avoid using these forms as they may not consider all the issues that you must decide upon separation. In addition, many of these forms will not take into consideration current North Carolina law, which may mean that one part or all of the agreement may be voidable. If you choose to use one of these agreements to save money, you should minimally take the finalized form to an attorney to ensure that it will accomplish what you want.
