If a marriage has broken down irretrievably, it is important that the financial and other consequences of the breakdown are set out in a formal negotiated Agreement. This can avoid the delay and expense of court proceedings.

A Separation Agreement would generally deal with:

• division of assets and liabilities
• maintenance payments
• the matrimonial home
• residence and contact arrangements for the children
• rights in a spouse’s estate prior to divorce
