1. Types of Separation Agreements

3. A Separation Agreement Between Spouses
Married couples can create a separation agreement that has been properly drafted, signed and executed by both spouses. In this type of agreement, a court proceeding is not involved.

4. If the agreement is violated by a spouse, the other spouse can file a case in court seeking enforcement or damages due to the violation of the agreement.

5. As in any other contract dispute case taken to court, a separation agreement between spouses is a binding contract that can be enforced by law.

6. A Separation Agreement in a Legal Separation Court Proceeding
Married couples can also pursue a legal separation in a court of law. In this case, the separation agreement is drafted and signed through a court proceeding.

7. The agreement then becomes a court order
The agreement then becomes a court order. If there is any breach in the agreement, it becomes a violation of the court order.

8. In this type of arrangement, the spouse does not need to file a court case if the terms of the separation are violated by the other spouse. They will only need to file a motion to enforce the legal separation agreement.
