The agreement is an enforceable contract and may be incorporated in the judgment of divorce. Not only must the agreement be drafted so that it protects your legal interests, it must be signed and acknowledged with the requisite formality. An improperly executed agreement is unenforceable.
I highly recommend Attorney Clement. I contacted Mr. Clement on Friday afternoon regarding an agreement I needed reviewed, negotiated, and completed by the following Wednesday. Mr. Clement stayed late Friday, worked over the weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday which were holidays. He was able to successfully negotiate with the other party and we were able to execute the agreement on time. Excellent and professional work. I will be using Attorney Clement should I need his services in the future and will recommend him to my family or friends.

A separation agreement is a comprehensive agreement that addresses all of the issues necessary to settle a divorce. At a minimum, the agreement would address:
Parties are free to modify separation agreements voluntarily. If parties are unable to agree to a change, a court can modify an separation agreement based on changed circumstances. However, the burden of showing the changed circumstances is extremely high. No one should enter an agreement that it can be easily modified.
