Now, to be fair, what people often mean by "legal separation" is a ''separation agreement''. This is something else altogether. A separation agreement is a contract that a couple use to record their agreement about things like how the children will be cared for, how their property will be shared, and how child support and spousal support will be paid. Separation agreements are not always necessary, and you can't be forced to sign a separation agreement. | Now, to be fair, what people often mean by "legal separation" is a ''separation agreement''.
