Separation agreements are legally binding contracts between marital spouses that are often put in place prior to a divorce. With the benefit of a legal agreement, you and your spouse are able to maintain separate living arrangements while agreeing to child support and child custody matters, earnings, division of property, and debts to ensure that both of you are on the same page under the law. Just like in a divorce, if one spouse is not compliant with the agreement, the courts are then able to enforce the terms.

In general, separation agreements are presumed to be valid and enforceable. This means that if you and your spouse have entered into a separation agreement and have both signed it, the court will usually honor its terms and provisions.
However, there are certain circumstances in which a separation agreement may be challenged and deemed invalid. For example, if you did not retain separate attorneys to review and negotiate the terms of the agreement, the court may examine the agreement more closely to ensure that there is no unfairness or inequality in the terms.
Additionally, if one spouse engaged in fraud or deception during the negotiation of the agreement, this could also invalidate the agreement. For example, if one spouse failed to disclose all of their assets or income during the negotiation process, or if they pressured or coerced the other spouse into signing the agreement, the court may find that the agreement is unenforceable.
In short, while separation agreements are generally considered to be valid and enforceable, it is important to ensure that both parties have had adequate legal representation and that the negotiation process was fair and transparent. If you suspect that there may be issues with your separation agreement, it is important to speak with a qualified family law attorney to understand your legal rights and options.
There are no legal requirements that you must have a family law attorney to become separated or to prepare a separation agreement. But it is important to understand these agreements, as legally binding instruments, can be enforced by the courts just like divorce agreements Consequently, you should understand all the terms and implications of the agreement. You should be clear on how the agreement affects custody and child support, health insurance, visitation rights, etc.
When you enter into an agreement, it should be one that is drafted with your needs in mind. Having a divorce/separation agreements lawyer assist you in preparing the documents ensures that your needs are being met while ensuring that the agreement can be enforced in case of a judgment of divorce.

Under New York law, a separation agreement is voluntary but legally binding. In the settlement agreement, the marital parties decide on matters of finances, spousal support, custodial rights, and terms, property division, and other important legal matters concerning the marriage. This is usually drafted if the spouses are considering a divorce. In many cases, one spouse will move out and establish another residence. Without both spouses agreeing to its terms, they will not be enforceable.
Although most separation agreements will be legally valid, there are some cases where family law courts will be called upon to look closely at the fairness of the document. In cases of fraud or coercion, the agreement may be found invalid by the courts.
If both spouses choose to change their minds about the separation and reconcile instead of going on to either contested divorce or uncontested divorce, the document, in most cases, will then become void. Alternatively, the document can also be drafted to state that living together will not void the terms. This further secures the terms should you want to attempt reconciliation.

Although New York divorce and family law provides for no-fault divorce after a marriage has lasted for six months or more, this is not the case for legal separation. In some cases, these laws have residency requirements that must be met. In the case where both spouses are residents of New York and the grounds for separation occurred here, there are no further residency restrictions. If this is not the case, other restrictions may apply:
