A Deed of Separation is a document that may be drawn up and executed by the parties to a marriage, where that marriage has broken down and where the parties do not wish to have recourse to the Courts for the purpose of agreeing the terms of the breakdown.
A Deed of Separation will make provision for custody, access to children, maintenance, division of matrimonial property and Succession Act rights. The terms will be committed to writing and signed by both parties.
