Re: How should I go about separating from my spouse

Dear Larry:

Thank you for your inquiry.

Although you could attempt to draft a Spearation Agreement without lawyer involvment, the realit is that the Agreement will probably not be upheld by the Court. Furthermore, it would be wise to consult with an attorney beforehand in order to ensure that you are not giving up too much in the agreement.

As it would be my pleasure to speak to you regarding your case, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss same.

Very truly yours,

Edward R. Weinstein

Re: Mediation

While you probably could put a separation agreement together, its enforceability may be questionable. Have you considered a mediator? Mediators can often bring the couple together on many issues which will ultimately lead to either a Memorandum of Understanding or a Property Settlement Agreement that would be binding. I would be happy to assist you, if you would call me at 856-546-8010. Your first consultation would be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
