Important Aspect Of Divorce GA
A Marital Settlement Agreement is an important aspect of divorce. A marital settlement agreement is the document that spells out everything the spouses agree to regarding property, custody, and support. It describes:
• how they intend to divide property and debts
• agreements about child and spousal support
• how they will share parenting responsibilities, and how they will deal with any issues that come up relating to raising their children, and
• how they will deal with any conflicts that arise later.
When executed and witnessed properly, it is an enforceable contract between the parties, but is not in itself an undertaking to become divorced. Most parties ultimately do file for divorce, at which time an Agreement would be “incorporated” into the eventual divorce judgment.
The purpose of the marital settlement agreement is to show the court the terms upon which you and your spouse have agreed to part. It is a written agreement entered into by the spouses getting divorced stating their rights and agreements pertaining to property, support and custody. To create a marital settlement agreement, you and your spouse must make hard decisions about your property and your children. There are many issues to consider and negotiate.
