Document background
A Pre Separation Agreement is utilized when married couples in Singapore are contemplating separation but are not yet ready for divorce proceedings. This document serves as a preliminary arrangement to manage the practical aspects of separation while providing time for reflection or reconciliation. The agreement typically includes provisions for asset division, living arrangements, financial responsibilities, and if relevant, children's matters. Under Singapore law, while not automatically binding in subsequent divorce proceedings, courts often consider these agreements when making final orders. The document must comply with Singapore's Women's Charter and related legislation, ensuring fair and reasonable terms for both parties.
