Many couples who separate in North Carolina — especially those with children and/or substantial property — need to negotiate and develop a separation agreement to handle issues and affairs until their divorce is legally finalized. In many cases, this agreement provides solid groundwork or even a detailed map for resolution of key matters if and when the divorce is legally finalized.

A separation agreement can be negotiated

  • between the parties and their attorneys
  • in mediation
  • outside the formal court process

and it can cover a full range of issues ranging from child custody and visitation to alimony and division of property.

When considering a separation agreement, it is critical to raise concerns and receive qualified counsel on what you should do — and not do — during the period of separation to support the goals you have for life after divorce.
