I assume that it deals with a divorce.
You do not need a lawyer, but one of you should have the agreement reviewed by a lawyer.
Agreement without a total understanding of the consequences of an agreement is to be blindsided. You can contact me at 978 749.3606
I to would advise that you have the agreement reviewed by a attorney-remember what you sign is a contract and the consequences can be great if you dont fully understand it.
Like the others who have answered before me, you should get the help of an attorney in preparing and filing a separation agreement. My firm charges a simple flat-fee for the preparation, execution, and filing of an uncontested petition for divorce. You do not want the unintended consequences of a poorly-drafted divorce agreement to come back to haunt you years later.
