Document background
A Legally Binding Separation Agreement is utilized when married couples in Singapore decide to live apart while remaining legally married. This document is essential when parties wish to formalize their separation arrangements without immediately pursuing divorce. The agreement, governed by Singapore law, particularly the Women's Charter, comprehensively covers property division, financial obligations, living arrangements, and if relevant, child custody and access arrangements. It provides legal protection for both parties and can be used as a foundation if the couple later decides to divorce. The document must comply with Singapore's legal requirements to be enforceable in court.
