What is a separation agreement?
A separation agreement is a written contract between you and your spouse or partner that sets out your financial and practical arrangements. It can cover:
- how to divide your property, savings and debts
- what will happen to your family home
- financial support for each other or your children
- arrangements for where your children will live and when they will spend time with each parent
- anything else important to your family.
Separation agreements are often used by couples who are not ready for divorce, or by unmarried partners who want clarity when they separate.
