When a marriage or partnership is under strain, but divorce isn’t the immediate solution, a Separation Agreement offers a structured way to live apart while resolving critical issues like finances, property, and parenting. At Marin, Barrett, & Murphy Law Firm, we help individuals and families across Rhode Island negotiate and formalize separation agreements that protect their rights and provide clarity during an uncertain time.
Whether you’re considering reconciliation or eventually planning to divorce, a well-crafted separation agreement can offer peace of mind and legal protection for both parties.
A Separation Agreement is a legally binding contract between spouses who have decided to live apart. It outlines the responsibilities and rights of each party while they are separated, covering many of the same issues addressed in a divorce—but without legally ending the marriage.
