Luckily, our marital settlement agreement makes this process as straightforward and painless as possible. These instructions will help you complete your marital settlement agreement and explain your options when filing for divorce, sometimes called filing for a "dissolution of marriage."<\u002Fp><p class="center"><strong>Completing Your Agreement<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p><strong>Division of Marital Property and Debts<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>One of the main things you will accomplish in your agreement is deciding how to divide the assets and debts you or your spouse acquired during the marriage. Typically, property that was received prior to the marriage or after separation will remain with the original individual owner. However, you may choose to split up your assets any way you want, whether owned jointly or individually. If you owned a home together, this will often be the largest asset that must be divided. You and your spouse can agree to let one of you keep it, or you may choose to sell the home and divide the net profits. If any one spouse retains title to the marital home and a mortgage exists on the property, that spouse must refinance the mortgage in his or her separate name within 60 days of receiving a final divorce decree.<\u002Fp><p>Although you may specify how you want to divide any assets you wish in the agreement, you do not need to list <em>every<\u002Fem> item the two of you own, unless you want to. It is sufficient to simply list the items that have significant monetary or sentimental value. Small knick-knacks don't need to be included unless you just want to be thorough or one of the spouses really cares about them. The agreement states that all property not specifically listed will remain with whatever spouse has physical possession of it (if it is a tangible asset, such as a boat or animal) or documented ownership rights (if it is an intangible asset, such as a bank account or stock).<\u002Fp><p><strong>Alimony<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>State law varies as to what kind and how much alimony or spousal support is permitted. If you live in a community property state (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, or Wisconsin), then an award of alimony in your case may be prohibited or greatly limited. The rationale for this is because the spouse in need of support will already be compensated more from the marital property than he or she would in non-community property states. For this reason, it is best to try to limit what you and your spouse agree on in the agreement as far as the amount and duration of the alimony to be paid.<\u002Fp><p class='indent-1'><u>Alimony Duration<\u002Fu><\u002Fp><p class='indent-1'>Again, states vary as to how long alimony support may last. Typically, courts prefer to award alimony on a short-term basis, say one to three years, until the other spouse can become self-sufficient. However, some courts will allow for longer support if warranted under the circumstances. Therefore, keep in mind that the court has the power to alter the alimony amount and duration.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Name Change<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>Our form allows you to specify whether a spouse wants a name change. Although you are not required to change your name when you get a divorce, many people choose to do so as part of starting their new life. Having the judge approve your legal name change will save you the additional hassle and expense of having to do it later on in a separate procedure.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Executing Your Agreement<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>The final step is to have both spouses sign the agreement in front of a notary public. If you and your spouse live far apart, or are not on speaking terms, one spouse can sign in front of a notary and then mail, email, or fax it to the other spouse, who will also need to sign in front of a notary. Both parties should retain a copy of the fully executed agreement for their records.<\u002Fp><p class="center"><strong>Filing for Divorce<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p><strong>Attorney vs. No Attorney<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>Although a divorce attorney can be helpful, they are not required. Many people opt to handle the divorce on their own or through a neutral third-party mediator. Divorce attorneys are most useful when there are issues in the divorce that are hotly contested by the spouses, such as child custody, alimony, or the division of assets. However, if both spouses are willing to work together to negotiate a settlement, then you can probably get away with not using an attorney. If you do have a divorce attorney, you can still save yourself expensive legal fees by creating this agreement yourself and then having your attorney review it, instead of having the attorney draft it for you.<\u002Fp><p>Note that state law varies greatly as to the specific requirements for initiating a divorce case in family court. For help figuring out the specific forms and procedures you should follow, you should contact a family or divorce court administrator, often the Clerk of Court, at the court that you will file your case in.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Grounds for Divorce<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>All 50 states now grant divorce based on no-fault grounds. A "no-fault" divorce is a divorce based on the consent of both spouses. The spouses are simply claiming that their marriage is irretrievably broken due to irreconcilable differences. Many states have completely done away with fault-based divorce and now only allow no-fault divorces. These states are <b>Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, and Wisconsin<\u002Fb>. If you are filing your case in one of these states, then your agreement will automatically specify that you are seeking a no-fault divorce.<\u002Fp><p class='indent-1'><u>Fault vs. No-Fault Divorce<\u002Fu><\u002Fp><p class='indent-1'>If you are not in one of the states listed above, then you will have the option of specifying whether you want a divorce based on fault or no-fault grounds. If you think that you and your spouse can come to an agreement on the terms of your marital settlement agreement, then it will be easier for you to request a no-fault divorce. This is because no-fault divorces do not require you to go through the tricky process of trying to prove that one of the spouses is at fault.<\u002Fp><p class='indent-1'>However, there are some reasons why a fault-based divorce could be more desirable. For instance, courts may take into account the fault or bad behavior of one of the spouses when determining the following: how to divide the marital property; which spouse will have physical and legal custody of any minors; and how much alimony should be awarded, if any. Also, note that it is possible for the spouse that is at fault to not contest the grounds for divorce by admitting his or her own fault. Common fault-based grounds for divorce include adultery, abandonment, cruel and inhumane treatment, habitual drunkenness or drug use, and felony conviction.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Residency Requirements<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><p>Most states require that one or both spouses have resided in the state for a certain amount of time before they can file for divorce in that state. The residency requirement is usually six months to a year. You may search online or call the county Clerk of Court if you need more help figuring this out.<\u002Fp><p><strong>Basic Steps for Filing Your Divorce<\u002Fstrong><\u002Fp><ul>  <li>First file your petition for divorce or dissolution of marriage. You can obtain the petition either on your state's family law website or by calling the Clerk of Court. <b>Be sure to check with the clerk to see if any financial affidavits or other attachments are required to be submitted with your petition.<\u002Fb><\u002Fli>  <li>Serve your spouse with the petition and a summons. This is called "service of process" and it will officially put your spouse on notice that you have initiated the divorce proceedings. Check your state laws to know how to properly serve someone. Most states allow for service via certified mail, return receipt requested. If your state is one of the few that does not allow for service by mail, you will need to get a law officer, private service company, or a disinterested adult to serve the papers in person on your spouse.<\u002Fli>  <li>Your spouse will need to file a response either accepting or rejecting the statements in your petition.

divorce settlement agreement helps make the divorce process more manageable by clarifying the parties’ needs and expectations. Review this guide for an overview of creating a divorce settlement agreement to be used when filing for divorce.","\u003Cp>A divorce settlement agreement puts everything you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse have agreed upon into writing and can be formalized by the court. Even if you both agree, you will need to complete this documentation to complete your divorce. Other common names for a divorce settlement agreement include the following:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Marital settlement agreement\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Property settlement agreement\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Support, property, and custody agreement\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>The agreement is designed to lay out the conditions of your divorce and any agreements you have reached with your former partner. A divorce settlement agreement could cover child support, custody, alimony, and even the division of your personal property, shared property, and debts.\u003Cstrong>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Division of Marital Property and Debts\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>One major function of the agreement is to decide how any assets and debts acquired during marriage will be divided. Normally, assets received before marriage or after separation remain the sole property of the individual who acquired them. However, assets may be divided in any manner you wish. If you acquired a home during the marriage, this is often the most important asset to be divided. You can agree to sell the home and divide the profits or let one of the spouses keep the home, in which case that spouse may agree to buy out the other spouse’s ownership interest. If one spouse keeps the home and it is under a mortgage, then that spouse will be responsible for changing the mortgage into his or her individual name within 60 days of the court issuing a final divorce decree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are not required to specify how every single asset you own will be divided unless you prefer to. It will be simpler to only list the items in the agreement that have significant or sentimental value. Items of lesser value can be divided outside of the agreement unless you are worried about an unfair division. The agreement explains that any property not specifically listed will be owned by whoever has physical possession or documented ownership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Child Custody\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>If you have children together, you must decide each parent’s rights concerning legal and physical custody of each child. \u003Cstrong>\"Legal custody\"\u003C\u002Fstrong> is the right to make important life decisions regarding the upbringing of the child, such as decisions concerning education, finances, and health care. \u003Cstrong>\"Physical custody\"\u003C\u002Fstrong> is the right to have the child live with you. You must also agree on your preferences regarding visitation rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Child custody can be arranged in different ways. For instance, you might give one parent legal custody and the other parent physical custody, one parent could have both legal and physical custody, or both parents might have joint legal and physical custody. The custody arrangement selected will depend on heavy consideration of what is in the best interests of the child. Joint custody is the most common arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Child Support\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Often, one parent will be responsible for paying child support to the other parent. Review your \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ncsl.org\u002Fresearch\u002Fhuman-services\u002Fguideline-models-by-state.aspx\">state guidelines\u003C\u002Fa> to learn how to calculate the amount of a child support payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Alimony\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Alimony is money paid from one spouse to another to help support them. Each state has different laws regarding how much alimony is allowed. Those living in community property states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, or Wisconsin) may find that an alimony award is prohibited or limited. This is because spouses seeking alimony in these states typically receive a greater division of the marital property than those in other states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Alimony Duration\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>States also have different guidelines determining how long alimony must be paid. Usually, alimony is awarded for a short amount of time—say one to three years—until the other spouse can become self-sufficient. However, longer alimony durations are not uncommon when justified by the circumstances. Keep in mind that the court reviewing your agreement will have the power to alter the agreed upon alimony amount and duration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Name Change\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Our form allows you to specify whether a spouse wants a name change. Although you are not required to change your name when you get a divorce, many people choose to do so as part of starting their new life. Having the judge approve your legal name change will save you the additional hassle and expense of having to do it later on in a separate procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Executing Your Agreement\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Before signing your agreement, be sure to read it thoroughly to make sure it is free of mistakes and will suit your needs. When you are ready to sign, you must wait to do so until you are in the presence of a notary public. If you and your spouse cannot sign together, you each will need to sign in front of a separate notary public. After it is signed, each spouse should retain a copy of the signed agreement for their records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Attorney vs. No Attorney\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>While divorce attorneys can help, you are not required to use one. Many people \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.legalnature.com\u002Fguides\u002F6-tips-for-handling-a-divorce-without-an-attorney\">choose to handle the divorce themselves\u003C\u002Fa> or hire a mediator. You should consider getting a divorce attorney if there is strong disagreement regarding the divorce settlement or the parties need help understanding the agreement. However, if the spouses are able to work together to reach an amicable settlement, then you can consider foregoing an attorney. Even if you have already hired a divorce attorney, creating the settlement agreement yourself and only having them review and edit it can sometimes save on legal fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note that state law varies greatly as to the specific requirements for initiating a divorce case in family court. For help figuring out the specific forms and procedures you should follow, contact a family or divorce court administrator (often the Clerk of Court) at the court that you will file your case in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Grounds for Divorce\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>All 50 states now grant divorce based on no-fault grounds. A \"no-fault\" divorce is a divorce based on the consent of both spouses. The spouses are simply claiming that their marriage is irretrievably broken due to irreconcilable differences. Many states have completely done away with fault-based divorce and now only allow no-fault divorces. These states are \u003Cstrong>Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, and Wisconsin\u003C\u002Fstrong>. If you are filing your case in one of these states, then your agreement will automatically specify that you are seeking a no-fault divorce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Fault vs. No-Fault Divorce\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>If you are not in one of the states listed above, then you will have the option of specifying whether you want a divorce based on fault or no-fault grounds. If you think that you and your spouse can come to an agreement on the terms of your divorce settlement agreement, then it will be easier for you to request a no-fault divorce. This is because no-fault divorces do not require you to go through the tricky process of trying to prove that one of the spouses is at fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there are some reasons why a fault-based divorce could be more desirable. For instance, courts may take into account the fault or bad behavior of one of the spouses when determining the following: how to divide the marital property; which spouse will have physical and legal custody of any minors; and how much alimony should be awarded, if any. Also, note that it is possible for the spouse that is at fault to not contest the grounds for divorce by admitting his or her own fault. Common fault-based grounds for divorce include adultery, abandonment, cruel and inhumane treatment, habitual drunkenness or drug use, and felony conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Residency Requirements\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Most states require that one or both spouses have resided in the state for a certain amount of time before they can file for divorce in that state. The residency requirement is usually six months to a year. However, if you are unsure of whether you meet the residency requirement in your state, you may also search online or call the county Clerk of Court if you need more help figuring this out.\u003C\u002Fp>","help-guide",{"hideOnMobile":104,"hideOnDesktop":104},{"id":144,"style":145,"size":146,"blockName":69,"blockType":147,"visibility":148},"6a15a24ff13133005943eb54","line","md","separator",{"hideOnMobile":104,"hideOnDesktop":104},{"id":150,"heading":151,"background":152,"blockName":69,"items":153,"blockType":190,"visibility":191},"6a15a24ff13133005943eb5e","Frequently Asked Questions","white",[154,158,162,166,170,174,178,182,186],{"id":155,"question":156,"answer":69,"legacyHtml":157},"6a15a24ff13133005943eb55","What should I include in a divorce settlement agreement?","\u003Cp>Your divorce settlement agreement should cover everything that is important to you, including custody of your children, child support payments, alimony, and the separation of your property, such as your family home, vehicles, and other assets.

If you both agree on everything, then you can be divorced in as little as three months, depending on your location. Some states have a mandatory separation or waiting period before a divorce can be finalized. If one party cannot be found or does not agree, then your divorce could take up to two years to be complete. The more you agree and the less acrimonious your divorce is, the faster and easier it will be to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":163,"question":164,"answer":69,"legacyHtml":165},"6a15a24ff13133005943eb57","What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce?","\u003Cp>In an \u003Cstrong>uncontested divorce\u003C\u002Fstrong>, you both agree to divorce and you come up with settlement terms you can both live with without a trial or court intervention. An uncontested divorce is not dispute or negotiation free; it simply means you were able to reach an agreement without resorting to having a judge making the decisions for you. There are some clear benefits to an uncontested divorce, including less stress for both parties, lower costs, and a faster resolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a \u003Cstrong>contested divorce\u003C\u002Fstrong>, one party either does not want to divorce at all or the spouses simply cannot agree on the terms. Common areas of dispute include child custody, child support, alimony, and the division of property. When you cannot reach an agreement, you will need to head to court for a judge to decide on these points for you. A contested divorce takes longer, costs more, and is generally more stressful and hostile than an uncontested divorce.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":167,"question":168,"answer":69,"legacyHtml":169},"6a15a24ff13133005943eb58","What is child custody?","\u003Cp>There are two types of child custody: physical custody and legal custody. When a parent in a divorce proceeding receives \u003Cstrong>physical custody\u003C\u002Fstrong>, that parent has the right to have the child in question live at the parent's residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the court awards the parents joint physical custody, then the child will split his or her time living with each parent. This often happens if the two parents live close enough to make this option practical. When the child lives mainly with one parent, that parent will have custody of the child while the other parent can gain visitation rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Legal custody\u003C\u002Fstrong> gives a parent the right to make important decisions about the child’s upbringing, including such important matters as the child's religion and schooling. Again, a court may choose to award joint legal custody to both parents. However, where only one parent receives physical or legal custody, that parent is said to have sole custody of the child in that regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ideally, you and your partner will be able to work out a child custody agreement as part of your separation or divorce agreement. If the court is left to decide, they will make the decision based on the best interests of the children involved. Your state will have specific guidelines designed to help determine custody, but in general, children are best served when they have time with both parents. If you both agree on where the children should live, who should care for them, and how often they should visit the non-custodial parent, then this information can be included in your divorce settlement agreement and eventually merged into your divorce decree.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":171,"question":172,"answer":69,"legacyHtml":173},"6a15a24ff13133005943eb59","Do I need an attorney to get divorced?","\u003Cp>It is not necessary to hire an attorney to handle a divorce. That said, for particularly complicated divorces or where large sums of money are at stake, a lawyer will help ensure that his or her client’s interests are best protected. Common disputes include those concerning the custody of children, the question of alimony, and the division of joint assets. You may need an independent mediator to help sort out these issues. Most couples want to sort out these matters as soon as possible, so often an attorney or a mediator offers the best bridge to a satisfactory solution for both financial and emotional matters.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":175,"question":176,"answer":69,"legacyHtml":177},"6a15a24ff13133005943eb5a","What happens if spouses cannot agree on a divorce settlement?","\u003Cp>If you and your spouse have been unable to reach an agreement on a divorce settlement, you—with the help of your attorneys or mediators if you are using them—may decide to submit the areas under dispute before a judge at a pretrial conference. This sort of conference normally takes place in the judge's chambers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you are using attorneys and the divorce is not mutual or you cannot reach an agreement in terms of child custody, estate distribution, and alimony, then you will probably have two different attorneys representing your individual concerns and interests. These attorneys will put forward your two different positions to the judge at the pretrial conference, and the judge will make recommendations for a just settlement. These recommendations do not bind the parties but help to determine what will happen at the trial. They are also often an impetus to come to an agreement before the trial date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a pretrial conference cannot bring an early settlement, a trial date will be set, which could take several months. In the period leading up to the trial, your attorney will be undertaking certain tasks as part of the trial preparation. This could include the interviewing of useful witnesses, taking depositions, studying reports from experts, and reviewing any facts submitted by your ex-spouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, if there is a large estate to consider, a trial may be the only way to ensure a fair distribution of the wealth. You can expect to pay a lot of money to go through the trial stage.
