Guidance for Marital Settlement Agreements

The resolution of a divorce is either negotiated between the  parties or resolved by the court. If both parties can reach an agreement on all issues, the attorneys at Ulrichsen Rosen & Freed LLC can draft a marital settlement agreement, which eliminates the need for extended litigation.

At Ulrichsen Rosen & Freed LLC, attorneys will help clients negotiate a divorce agreement that covers all issues and draft a marital settlement agreement that accurately reflects the terms of the agreement. Our lawyers provide clients with representation that aims to reach a complete agreement, which  current needs and, to the extent possible, anticipates future needs.

Fully Resolving All Divorce Issues

A marital settlement agreement is a written document, which both parties sign,  that fully resolves all issues in a divorce. To draft a marital settlement agreement, parties  need to determine:

• How to divide your assets and debts
• Whether alimony is appropriate and, if so, the amount and length of time alimony will paid or received
• Who will have custody of the children, as well as develop a parenting time schedule
• The amount of child support that will be paid or received
• Any other issues involved with your divorce

To create a valid marital settlement agreement, both parties  must fully disclose all relevant information so that each party to the agreement is able to make an informed decision.

Uncontested Divorce Attorneys

Clients  can reach a marital settlement agreement in several ways. If  both parties have agreed to all aspects of a divorce, the attorneys at Ulrichsen Rosen & Freed LLC can review the  agreement and draft the terms. The attorneys at Ulrichsen Rosen & Freed LLC can also review agreements to ensure that no issues have been overlooked or have been left out of an agreement.
