Husbands and wives can enter into agreements regarding their assets. To get a court order which is probably safer, you could file a petition for a legal separation. This action should give you the result you are looking for.

No document may be created regarding those issues apart from an Order of the Court approving a Marital Settlement Agreement. Try mediation. As a mediator I can accomplish your goals. Contact me directly.
