Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do we have to be separated to create a separation agreement?

    No—but it’s often done shortly after separating or in preparation for it.

  • Is a separation agreement enforceable in court?

    Yes, if properly drafted and signed, it’s a binding contract in North Carolina.

  • Can we include custody and child support in a separation agreement?

    Yes, but the court can always review those terms to ensure they serve the child’s best interest.

  • What if one spouse doesn’t want to sign?

    A valid agreement requires both parties to sign voluntarily. If one won’t participate, court may be necessary.

  • Can a separation agreement be changed later?

    Possibly. Modifications require mutual agreement or a court order, depending on the terms.

  • Do I still need a lawyer if it’s amicable?

    Yes. Even cooperative agreements should be reviewed to ensure your rights are fully protected.
