Separation agreements
Sometimes when you decide your marriage is over you might want to sort out the issue of the matrimonial home and financial issues but not feel ready to embark on divorce proceedings. Sometimes, there are no grounds for a divorce and you would have to wait until you have been separated for two years before you could have a divorce.
If you enter into a separation agreement with your spouse or civil partner this can be a way of recording what you have both agreed about the finances and when you do come to divorce, the terms of the agreement are normally incorporated into a final consent order.
