While the goal of a separation agreement is often to resolve all issues arising from a couple’s separation, in certain situations, spouses may be unable to do so and may find themselves only able to resolve certain, individual issues, such as child custody and support, spousal support/alimony, or property division/equitable distribution. In these circumstances, the spouses may find it advantageous to resolve the individual issues they can agree upon and to memorialize their decisions in a more limited agreement. Such agreements are legally enforceable contracts, just like separation agreements.
