Deed of Separation
Where the parties are agreed on all aspects of their arrangements including children and finances these can all be embodied in an agreement which is in the form of a Deed.
Whilst the court always reserves to itself the power to look at an agreement on a divorce, provided the agreement is reached on the basis of:-
- Full disclosure of assets and liabilities
- Where both parties have had the benefit of legal advice
A court will be reluctant to become involved.
A Deed of Separation is particularly useful where, for instance, parties have agreed to separate but do not have immediate plans to divorce.
