WHAT ABOUT INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE?
Keep in mind that both parties should each get independent legal advice. Each party must have their own lawyer provide 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.
