Marital Settlement Agreements

When parties to a dissolution of marriage (divorce) action settle the issues of their case they will need to enter into what is typically called a Marital Settlement Agreement.  If the parties have minor children, the Marital Settlement Agreement can include a Parenting Plan addressing the issues related to the minor children or the Parenting Plan can be a separate agreement.  When the parties to a dissolution of marriage action settle or partially settle their case, it is important that the Marital Settlement Agreement is drafted by a competent, knowledgeable and experienced attorney who practices in the area of family law.
