Legal Separation Agreement

Legal Separation Agreement in North Carolina

When a marriage comes to an end, there are many issues that must be resolved and agreed upon by the spouses. A legal separation agreement in North Carolina may address and resolve any or all aspects of:

  • Financial support (post-separation support, alimony, child support)
  • Children’s issues (child custody, visitation)
  • The equitable distribution of property

This written agreement serves as a private contract and settlement document between the spouses.

If the parties cannot reach a legal separation agreement, they may choose to file a lawsuit regarding any issue that has not been resolved.

You should seek counsel with an experienced attorney to discuss whether a separation agreement would be an appropriate resolution to your situation, and, if so, to advise you on the specific terms. And always consult with an attorney prior to signing any document presented to you by your spouse or your spouse’s attorney.

Learn more about separation agreements in NC on our frequently asked questions page.

Congrats to WFLG partner Nancy Grace who was elected a State Bar Councilor for the Tenth Judicial District today. The Tenth Judicial District Bar holds eight seats on the North Carolina State Bar council. The Bar is governed by a 61-member council whose members are lawyers elected by the lawyers in their home communities, as well as three non-lawyer members of the council. The public’s interests are represented by three members of the council who are not lawyers and who are appointed by the governor and other elected officials. Bar Councilor terms are for three years, and they may serve up to three consecutive terms.Congrats Nancy! ... See MoreSee Less
