SEPARATION AGREEMENT

This fill-in-the-blanks MS Word document is written in plain English with much of the legal jargon removed; it is easier to understand and actually use.

The separation agreement is a great tool to resolve issues, and it is OK to
ask questions or give me your feed-back. You may have lots of questions,
here are the most common.

* Q. Is it legal?
A. Yes, although this simplified document does not have legal sounding
words, when signed and witnessed by any adult the agreement becomes legal
and binding.

* Q. Does it need to be signed by a lawyer?
A. No; however, in some circumstances it might be a good idea to seek
independent legal or accounting advice.

* Q. Do I need to register the agreement someplace?
A. No. It is a domestic contract which you keep on file for future
reference.

* Q. My spouse will not sign the agreement, now what?
A. The short answer is that without a signature the document has no legal
weight. Your spouse may have reasons for not signing. The issue could be;
control, avoidance, denial, guilt, fear, greed, power, no trust, no hurry,
no need, or just plain bad advice from a third party, or maybe he/she wants
to change things first.
