DEED OF SEPARATION / POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT
Where parties are not yet ready, or not yet eligible, to file for divorce, how can they put in place clear and workable arrangements?
Where couples are not yet ready, or not yet eligible, to file for a divorce, they may consider executing a Deed of Separation or Post-Nuptial Agreement instead. While these marital agreements do not bring the marriage to an end, the agreement signed by both parties is often a very helpful tool in setting out the arrangements between parties pending a divorce.
A Deed of Separation can set out the parties’ agreement on child-related matters (such as custody, care and control, and access), as well as practical financial matters (such as maintenance for one spouse, maintenance for the Children, or how parties will continue servicing the mortgage on their property).
A Post Nuptial Agreement can similarly be entered into by parties to an existing marriage, to set out common expectations and understandings which parties are expected to comply with. A Post Nuptial Agreement may also cover the full spectrum of issues relating to the child(ren), maintenance matters, and financial matters.
Properly drafted Deeds of Separation and/or Post-Nuptial Agreements can be given significant weight by the Court in matrimonial proceedings, especially where parties are represented by legal counsel.
