Separation Agreement

Answer what you can. The draft beside these boxes is rewritten as you go, so you can see exactly what each answer does to the document.

What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

__________, of __________ (the "Husband"); and

__________, of __________ (the "Wife").

BACKGROUND

A. The Husband and the Wife were married on __________ at __________.

THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

5. Debts. Each party is responsible for the debts and liabilities that party takes on after the date of separation, and will not hold the other responsible for them.

6. The marriage continues. This Agreement does not end the marriage, and the Husband and the Wife remain married. Neither will marry again while the marriage subsists.

7. No admission. Nothing in this Agreement is an admission by either party of fault, and neither will use it against the other as proof of fault.

8. Rights to go to court. This Agreement does not stop either party from asking a court for divorce, judicial separation, maintenance or any other relief the law allows, or from asking a court to change the arrangements for the children. Money paid under clause 4 will be counted by the parties and the court in any later claim.

9. Living together again. If the parties choose to live together again, they will tell each other in writing, and the terms of clauses 1, 2 and 4 will then end. The rest of this Agreement will stay on record as the parties' account of what was agreed.

10. Settling disagreements. If a disagreement arises, the parties will first try to settle it by talking, with a mediator or a family member they both trust, before going to court.

11. Free consent. Each party states that he or she has read this Agreement and understood it, signs it freely, without pressure or threat, and has had the chance to take independent legal advice.

SIGNATURES

Husband: __________

Wife: __________

Witness 1 (name, address, signature): ______________________________

Witness 2 (name, address, signature): ______________________________

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
