Marital Settlement Agreement.
A marital settlement agreement spells out the terms of the divorce and the relationship between the two spouses after the divorce. Parties to a divorce are encouraged to enter into a written Property settlement agreement containing provisions for the maintenance of either spouse, the disposition of any Property owned by either spouse, the allocation of debts, and the support and custody of any minor children. The agreement of the parties is then presented to the court for its approval and a decree of dissolution is entered.
Filing a marital settlement agreement is not required but it has many advantages. First, it prevents ambiguities. Second, it avoids court because the judge will most likely honor the written agreement if written correctly and if it covers all material aspects of the divorce. Third, it shows the court that the issues were considered carefully, and the case will move more quickly though the system.
Marital settlement agreements can be entered into at any time before the final judgment. They are typically filed with the final judgment.
