Two spouses may agree that living together is no longer workable without agreeing to end their marriage. They can establish separate households, yet questions about shared expenses, children, property, and financial obligations remain.
Alatsas Law Firm drafts separation agreements for New York couples who want those arrangements established in writing. The firm’s family-law practice addresses the financial and parenting issues that can become part of a separation while the spouses remain legally married.
Living Apart Does Not Settle the Terms of Separation
Moving into different homes changes everyday life, but it does not necessarily resolve legal responsibilities between spouses. A mortgage may remain in both names, children may move between households, and one spouse may depend on financial contributions from the other.
