Settlement Agreement

A global settlement in a divorce action outlines a plan for shared parenting, the amount of support owed by one party to the other, and how to divide the assets and debts accumulated during the marriage.

This agreement will affect the entire family for years to come and must be well-drafted. Do not sign any contracts without first consulting an attorney.

These agreements can have far-reaching effects on child custody, child support, and other aspects of a divorce.

Whether your case is relatively simple (uncontested) or complex, your settlement agreement needs to be drafted in a way that is enforceable, easy to understand, and that will facilitate and increase your ability to stay out of court in the future.
