A Separation Agreement is a document by which a couple resolves all outstanding issues pertaining to their relationship. A couple may be legally separated when they are still living under the same roof. WHEN AM I LEGALLY SEPARATED?A couple is legally separated on the day that they no longer live with each other as man and wife. It has the same force and effect as a court order, threat or compulsion by any party, that the agreement was not made under duress, made full disclosure of all of their assets and debts, provided that each party has received independent legal advice, and that the agreement has been duly executed and witnessed. A Separation Agreement is a very important document. It also includes clauses dealing with whether or not either party may have the right to share in the Estate of the other party upon their death. Those issues include a division of their property, spousal support, child custody and child support. This situation is common when either the husband or wife removes themselves from their commonly used bedroom and lives and sleeps in another part of the house.
