New Haven Attorneys: Separation Agreements
Creating Separation Agreements That Protect Your Rights
A separation agreement is the document that addresses each spouse's rights and obligations following a divorce. Separation agreements lay out terms regarding alimony and child support payments, child custody and visitation, property and debt division and other dissolution-related issues in cases where parties ultimately negotiate a settlement prior to trial.
If you are considering a divorce, it is imperative that negotiations lead to terms that protect your rights, interests and goals, and that your separation agreement reflects your objectives.
The New Haven law firm of Yolen and Perzin, LLC, has helped hundreds of people across Connecticut successfully negotiate and settle their divorce through comprehensive separation agreement. We have been representing clients in divorce and family law cases since 1981. We have successfully negotiated the terms of numerous separation agreements, resolving issues such as the following:
- Alimony and spousal support
- Child support

- Division of bank accounts, pensions and retirement accounts
- Post-majority support (college tuition for your children)
Are you divorcing? We can advocate for your rights and enforce them through an effective divorce agreement. Contact Yolen and Perzin, LLC, at (203) 562-5100.
Your separation agreement must address and resolve all issues related to your divorce. Once completed, a separation agreement can only be modified under rare circumstances. We will coordinate with you to see that your separation agreement addresses every issue you seek to resolve in the divorce process.
We Can Also Help Enforce Your Separation Agreement
Separation agreements are ultimately presented to a judge for approval. Upon approval, this agreement is given the force of court orders and both parties must adhere to its terms.
If your former spouse is not following the terms of your separation agreement, we can help you enforce your rights. When your ex-spouse fails to comply with your separation agreement, he or she commits more than a breach of contract; he or she violates a judge's order and may be in contempt of court. We can file for legal relief and attend contempt proceedings to enforce child custody, property division, alimony and other provisions.
