Separation Agreements

In Maryland, a divorcing couple can agree on all of the things the court would otherwise have to decide for them.  When they do, the result is known as a Marital Settlement Agreement.  Working out a marital settlement agreement is the single best way for divorcing couples to resolve their dispute.  A marital settlement agreement is a contract that can be enforced in the courts.  When a couple has a marital settlement agreement, the court can, and usually does, make it a part of the final divorce decree.

It is very important that the agreement follow all the legal rules for contracts.  It is also critically important that the marital settlement agreement contain language that protects the interests of both parties in the future.  A marital settlement agreement is a legally binding contract.  Getting the help of an experienced Maryland divorce lawyer to be sure your marital settlement agreement is fair and reasonable is an investment in your future.
