Document background
An Interim Separation Agreement is utilized when married couples in the United States need to formalize their separation terms while working toward a final divorce settlement. This document typically includes provisions for temporary living arrangements, financial responsibilities, asset usage, and if relevant, child custody and support arrangements. The agreement helps maintain stability during the separation period and can serve as a framework for the final divorce agreement. While governed by state-specific family law, these agreements are particularly useful in jurisdictions with mandatory separation periods or when couples need time to resolve complex financial or personal matters before finalizing their divorce.
