Separation Agreements
Rockville Lawyer Designs Separation Agreements In Maryland
Helping Clients Who Have Decided To Legally Separate
Maryland no longer grants Legal Separation as a distinct status from absolute divorce. If you and your spouse want to separate, the Law Offices of Ellen L. Lee can advise you of your options and then draft a separation agreement that protects your interests.
Who Should Consider A Separation Agreement In Maryland
You must have valid grounds to pursue an absolute divorce in Maryland. If you and your spouse have comparable incomes, little or no debt, and no children, a separation agreement may not be necessary. In Maryland, you can now pursue no-fault divorce by simply living apart for 6 consecutive months.
However, if you have children or unequal incomes, or can’t agree on how to divide your property, a separation agreement may be necessary to pursue an absolute divorce. Separation agreements resolve the following issues:
- Spousal support
- Child support
- Child custody
- Child visitation schedules
- Health insurance
- Who lives in the family home
- Who has control over other property, including vehicles
Separation agreements address many of the issues you encounter in a Maryland divorce.
