Settlement Agreement
Divorce Settlement Agreements
A global settlement in a divorce action outlines a plan for sharing time with the children, specifies the amount of support owed from one party to the other, and details how to divide the assets and debts accumulated during the marriage.
Are Settlement Agreements Common?
A tiny percentage of cases go all the way to Trial. In other words, most cases are resolved via settlement at some point in the proceedings.
This settlement agreement will affect the entire family for years to come and must be well drafted. Do not sign any contracts without consulting an attorney first.
It's paramount to understand the importance and far-reaching effects that a settlement agreement can have on custody, child support, and all other aspects of a Divorce.
Whether your case is relatively simple (uncontested) or complex, your Settlement Agreement is drafted in a way that is enforceable, easy to understand, and will facilitate and increase your ability to stay out of court in the future.
