Re: legal separation

I would not be penny wise and pound foolish. Any agreement to be legally valid must meet certain criteria and oftentimes those drafted by layman can be wanting.

Re: legal separation

A separation agreement, and the child support provisions in particular, requires specific terms. In the absence of the required terms, the agreement may be void.

I suggest you have the agreement reviewed by an attorney.
