    What is a separation agreement and do I need one if I’m not married?

    A separation agreement is a document that outlines the agreed-upon split of your finances. Although it isn't legally enforceable by the court, it can carry weight in court if written correctly. Separation agreements aren't essential in a separation but are a good way for unmarried couples to protect themselves against future financial claims. These claims could be brought against your current assets or any future assets/inheritance.
