What is a marital settlement agreement?
A marital settlement agreement (MSA) is a contract between spouses who have decided to divorce and have agreed on all the details.
An MSA will include distribution of the marital assets and debts. It will include all the details about spousal support and if there are children, will include custody and child support.
Once both spouses have signed the MSA, it gets filed with the court and becomes an enforceable court order.
When parties can agree on all the issues in their divorce, an MSA can make the entire process easier for all involved.
If you are getting divorced and want to see if an an MSA will work for your situation, give me a call to set up an initial consultation!
