Connecticut Divorce Settlement Agreement: What Is It?
A Connecticut Divorce Settlement Agreement is a document that is drafted and signed after a divorce has been finalized by two former partners. The purpose of the document is to clearly outline any decisions reached relating to responsibilities and how things will be shared once the pair has separated.
Alternate Names:
- Connecticut Marital Settlement Agreement;
- Connecticut Divorce Agreement.
Things that will need to be considered includes (but is not limited to) the following points:
- Custody of a child (or children) - think about the type of custody you want to enforce and this always be done in the best interests of the child;
- Details regarding any payments for child support as outlined by state law;
- Any legal payments that one spouse is obliged to make to the other spouse;
- How any properties (or other assets, including debts) will be divided between the divorcees.
To make sure that this process is fair and that it gives both parties an equal foothold after the divorce, both spouses need to be absolutely transparent when it comes to declaring their assets and income. If a court passes the conditions outlined in the agreement, if a party does not strictly adhere to the outlined conditions they could face legal action.
