A: A separation agreement is nothing more than a contract. There is no filing requirement nor does there have to be a complaint of any kind in place. All that is required is that it be properly drafted and signed by both parties in front of a notary. For the average couple, there is also no reason for it to cost thousands. Our firm drafts comprehensive separation agreements starting at a flat rate fee of $250.
