Free Marriage Separation Agreement

A Marriage Separation Agreement is a legal document prepared by spouses contemplating a divorce who have reached an agreement to separate and regarding how their property, assets, debts and other marital issues will be divided or handled. This Agreement can also be used to define child custody, visitation and child support if the parties have minor children.

If you have legal questions regarding the legal separation process or filing for legal separation, you can use Rocket Lawyer's "On Call" service to connect with an attorney in your area.

IMPORTANT: This form should not be used by residents of South Dakota and North Carolina as these states do not recognize legal separations. If you have reached an agreement and want to proceed with a divorce please use Rocket Lawyer's Divorce Settlement Agreement.

Use the Marriage Separation Agreement document if:
  • You and your spouse have decided to legally separate and you both agree on how to divide your property and assets.
  • You and your spouse are considering a divorce and would like to legally separate temporarily while you make a final decision on ending your marriage completely.
  • You and your spouse are currently negotiating the terms of your legal separation and would like to create a plan for the legal separation.
  • You are contemplating a legal separation and would like to set preliminary terms for a division of your property.
  • You plan to meet with an attorney regarding a legal separation and would like to be prepared with an outline for the division of property and assets.
