A: The time for a separation agreement would have been at the beginning of the separation. If you have been separated for two years with no issues it is unlikely you need a separation agreement now unless there is property, assets/debts to be divided and / or child related issues. At this point, if you want to end the marriage, you are likely eligible to file for divorce. We can do that for you for a total flat rate fee of $395.
