Huntersville Separation Agreement Lawyer

Legal Separation Attorneys Serving Mecklenburg County, North Carolina

Separating from your spouse is not an easy decision to make, but it might be necessary before your divorce can be finalized. In North Carolina, spouses must live separate and apart for at least one year prior to seeking a no-fault divorce. 

A separation agreement is not legally required in these situations, but it can help by clearly defining complex issues related to custody and visitation, who will live in the marital home, and other important matters. A separation agreement can even provide a foundation for a workable divorce order.

Our experienced separation agreement attorney has over a decade of legal experience and have been board certified as a family law specialist since 2013. We believe in helping our clients work toward brighter futures as they end their marriages and start new chapters in their lives.

Issues Addressed in a Separation Agreement

A separation agreement can be as broad or as detailed as you want it to be. It can be fully customized to address your family’s needs, whatever they may be. A separation agreement may dictate:

• Child custody and visitation
• Whether one spouse will provide child support payments
• Who will remain in the marital home
• Whether one spouse will provide postseparation support to the other
• The division of property and assets
• Which bills each spouse is responsible for paying

When our experienced Huntersville legal separation agreement lawyer works with their clients to create separation agreements, they take the time to listen to and understand their immediate and long-term goals as best I can. Now is the time to negotiate and reach mutually acceptable agreements regarding complex issues, to see if they can be resolved prior to divorce. This can make the divorce process much easier.

Why Work with Our experienced huntersville legal separation agreement lawyer?

To be considered legally valid, a separation agreement must be in writing. It must also be signed by both parties and must be notarized. While it can be overridden by a court order if a custody or support case is filed in court at a later date, it is legally enforceable. Our experienced divorce attorney can make sure that the separation agreement is truly in your best interests and that it is legally sound.
