Separation agreements are contracts between spouses that describe the conditions under which they will live apart. In North Carolina, separation agreements can also address property distribution, child support and spousal support. While separation agreements can outline child support obligations, they cannot waive child support requirements for either of the spouses.
A separation agreement is not required for a couple to be legally separated. It is, however, a good idea to have one in place to protect your rights. Contact an attorney at Mercogliano & Associates, PA today to discuss the benefits afforded to having a separation agreement.
