Courts respect agreements about property and debt division and will uphold them as long as the agreements are fair. For more on family law agreements, see our information on [[Separation and Separation Agreements (Script 115)|separation agreements (no. 115)]] and [[Marriage Agreements and Cohabitation Agreements (Script 162)|marriage and cohabitation agreements (no. 162)]]. | Courts respect agreements about property and debt division and will uphold them as long as the agreements are fair.
