Document background
The Marital Separation Agreement is utilized when married couples in Singapore decide to live separately but are not yet ready or willing to pursue divorce. This document, governed by Singapore's Women's Charter and related legislation, provides a comprehensive framework for managing the separation period. It typically includes provisions for asset division, financial arrangements, living conditions, and if applicable, childcare arrangements. The agreement can be used as evidence of separation should the parties later decide to divorce, and ensures clarity and legal protection for both parties during the separation period. It must comply with Singapore's legal requirements and can be modified through mutual agreement as circumstances change.
