What is a Separation Deed?

A Separation Deed is another term for a Separation Agreement. It is a legally binding contract between separating couples that outlines the terms of their separation.

A Deed is useful for couples who are not ready or able to divorce immediately. The document provides legal protection and clarity on separation terms, and can be used as a basis for divorce or dissolution proceedings at a later date.

A Separation Deed must be in writing, signed by both parties, and witnessed. Full financial disclosure is also required for the agreement to be valid.
