- Arrangements relating to children,
- Financial support,
- Settlement of the spouses' property claims, and
- Possession of the parties' matrimonial home
- It can also include any other terms or conditions you wish to add.
- Independent legal advice (ILA) is required for any legal separation agreement.

WHAT ABOUT INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE?

If not, the agreement could be overturned if disputed later on. Each lawyer providing Independent legal advice will provide a letter certifying that they have done so which the courts will accept.
