Document background
The Mediation Separation Agreement is utilized when married couples in Singapore choose to separate through mediation rather than immediate divorce proceedings. This document is particularly relevant when parties wish to formalize their separation terms while maintaining the possibility of reconciliation or before proceeding with divorce. The agreement typically includes comprehensive provisions on living arrangements, financial matters, asset division, and child custody if applicable, all aligned with Singapore's family law framework. It provides a structured approach to separation while benefiting from the cost-effective and less adversarial nature of mediation.
