Marital Settlement Agreement Georgia
A Marital Settlement Agreement is a legal document signed by the parties going through a divorce that sets out how the parties agreement to settle their case. A marital settlement agreement must consider the following:
• Child support
• Spousal support
• Health, life, and disability insurance
• The house and other real estate
• Cars and other vehicles
• Household items (furniture and furnishings)
• Personal items, including clothing, jewelry, tools, and athletic equipment
• Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds
• Bank accounts
• Retirement plans and pensions
• Family business or professional practice, including accounts payable and receivable
• Pets
• Art work
• Frequent flyer miles and other miscellaneous assets
• Stock options
• Parenting (separate parenting agreement should accompany MSA)
• Name changes (you, your spouse, or the children)
• Credit cards and other debts
• Tax payments and distribution of refund
• Fees for mediation, lawyers, and counselors
• Social Security benefits
• Modifying the agreement later
• How disputes will be resolved
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.
