A marital settlement agreement is a contract between two individuals that resolves family issues in a divorce, such as child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, property division and any other issues related to divorce.
Drafting a marital agreement can be quite technical; however, this agreement can be a valuable tool that will save both parties significant emotional and financial stress, thousands of dollars as well as valuable time that is associated with a contested divorce process.
When a marital settlement agreement cannot be reached between the two parties, your case will be presented to a judge who will reach one for you.
