Separation agreements vs. divorce: What's the difference?

Separation agreements and divorce are two distinct legal processes that can end a marriage, but they differ in several important ways. A separation agreement is a private contract between spouses who are separated or plan to separate very soon. It typically includes details related to division of property, spousal support, child custody and support, and other legal issues related to separation. 


On the other hand, divorce is a court process that formally ends a marriage. It involves filing a complaint in court, serving the complaint on your spouse, and going through a series of legal hearings before a judge. While a separation agreement can be incorporated into a divorce decree, it is not required for a divorce to be granted.
