DETAILS REGARDING THIS FORM
Our New York Separation Agreement, Without Children, is a 17-page form available for immediate download in MSWord format.

It sets forth all of the language required under New York’s Domestic Relations Law, and it contains various alternatives for addressing financial issues.
The agreement is designed so that it can be used in a wide range of cases. With regard to property issues, the form allows you to select from alternative provisions relating to real estate, investment accounts, retirement plans, vehicles, personal property, and more. Because it offers so many options, the form is appropriate for use in a wide variety of situations, ranging from the most simple (with no property issues) to more complex matters.
A separation agreement is the most effective tool for avoiding lengthy and costly divorce proceedings. A separation agreement may be used in lieu of establishing grounds for a divorce (this is referred to in NY as a “conversion divorce”). However, it need not be used for that purpose, and is often used as the mechanism to set forth a couples agreement on financial issues, even if they intend to pursue divorce on other grounds, such as abandonment. Our New York Separation Agreement form is user-friendly, and it has consistently ranked as one of our most popular forms.
