Marital Settlement Agreement Macon GA

Assets or debts that either spouse had before your marriage, or acquired after the permanent separation, are considered separate property or debts. Generally, each spouse will keep their separate property and be responsible for their separate debts. If both spouses can agree on how to divide marital property, the court will simply approve agreement. If the spouses can’t agree, the court will divide the property.

A Marital Settlement Agreement is an important aspect of divorce. A marital settlement agreement is the document that spells out everything the spouses agree to regarding property, custody, and support. It describes:
• how they intend to divide property and debts
• agreements about child and spousal support
• how they will share parenting responsibilities, and how they will deal with any issues that come up relating to raising their children, and
• how they will deal with any conflicts that arise later.

When executed and witnessed properly, it is an enforceable contract between the parties, but is not in itself an undertaking to become divorced. Most parties ultimately do file for divorce, at which time an Agreement would be "incorporated" into the eventual divorce judgment.
