Fort Myers Separation Agreement Attorney
Is a separation agreement right for you? Get the facts.
Florida law does not directly provide for legal separation, but does allow for dissolution of marriage and no-fault divorce. You can also make other legal arrangements, such as a separation agreement, to make official any terms for your relationship should you wish to live apart.

How does a separation agreement work?
A married couple can establish a separation agreement in lieu of filing for a divorce, but the separation agreement must be fair, equitable, and transparent for both parties if it is to be considered legally binding. In certain scenarios, such an agreement essentially provides the same outcome as a legal separation would in other states. The key difference is that the court would not resolve disputes regarding the agreement. This means that the spouses must submit to the terms of the agreement on their own accord as they would any other contract.
If a separation agreement is insufficient or a dissolution of marriage not possible, a couple will need to consider a formal divorce, which will establish provisions regarding:
- Spousal support/alimony
- Child support
- Child custody, and
- Visitation
