A Separation Agreement is a notarized agreement between married persons covering one or more aspects of a separation.  Some typical topics for a Separation Agreement are as follows: 

• Who moves out of the marital residence and under what conditions
• Role of “abandonment” and, most frequently, waiver of abandonment
• Temporary financial issues
• Temporary custody issues
• Social relationships after date of separation

            NEVER, NEVER move out of your marital residence (absent violence and danger) without consultation with your attorney.
