Separation Agreement (Scotland)

Separated but not yet ready to divorce? Living in Scotland?

This ‘Download Now’ Separation Agreement will take away the difficulty of creating a Separation Agreement in Scotland. 

Many married couples who decide to separate enter into Separation Agreements to put in writing any decisions they have made about their finances and children. Then when they divorce the divorce can proceed on an uncontested basis.

A Separation Agreement is simple to create in Scotland with Lawpack’s Separation Agreement.

In Scotland, if a Separation Agreement is registered in the Books of Council & Session, it becomes a legally enforceable document with the same force as a Court Order. 

A Separation Agreement can only be altered if there is a change of circumstances, otherwise it can only be challenged if it can be shown that the agreement was not fair and reasonable at the time it was made. 

It's important to take individual legal advice if one of you is in a stronger position than the other to prevent the court from suggesting that the other party was forced into the Separation Agreement. 

This Separation Agreement is suitable for a married couple with children.

This Separation Agreement is for use in Scotland.

• Payment of lump sum
• Transfer of property
