Marital Settlement Agreement
A marital separation agreement, also known as a property settlement agreement, or marital settlement agreement, is simply a written contract dividing your property, spelling out your rights, as well as settling problems such as alimony and custody. When executed and witnessed properly, it is an enforceable contract between the parties, but is not in itself an undertaking to become divorced. Most parties ultimately do file for divorce, at which time an Agreement would be “incorporated” into the eventual divorce judgment.
A premarital agreement, also known as a prenuptial agreement, or prenup, is a contract written between two people before they get married. It lists all the property that each person owns prior to marriage. It allows the individuals to agree to how living expenses and the expenses of raising children will be allocated both during the marriage and in the event of a divorce or death of one individual.
