Yes. Even if you have no children and there is no property to divide, it is a good idea to get one, just to ensure finality between you and your spouse so that your spouse cannot raise legal issues later on.

Separation Agreements deal with the major issues arising out of a separation – namely, child custody and access, child support, spousal support, and the division of property. They also deal with many ancillary issue you might not have thought about, such as insurance, future changes in financial circumstances or with the children, and dealing with future disputes between you and your current spouse.

Once an agreement in principle is reached, it’s important to finalize that agreement as quickly as possible, so that your spouse does not change his or her mind.

That’s it! It is a private agreement between you and your ex, and there is no need to file it in court or any other government agency. Many people choose to go on and obtain an uncontested divorce after completing their separation agreement. You must be separated for one year before you can obtain a divorce.

You can file for a divorce once you have been separated for one year.
