Document background
The Interim Separation Agreement is utilized when married couples in England and Wales decide to live separately but are not yet ready to proceed with divorce. This document provides a structured framework for managing the separation period, typically covering financial arrangements, property occupation, child care responsibilities, and asset distribution. It serves as a temporary measure while couples evaluate their relationship and consider permanent solutions. The agreement is particularly valuable as it can help prevent future disputes and provide clarity during the separation period, though it may need to be revised if the parties later proceed with divorce.
