Separation Deeds

A Separation Deed, otherwise known as a Deed of Separation, is a legally binding document between a separating couple that encapsulates terms relating to their separation (e.g., the official date of separation and future living arrangements of both parties) as well as their future arrangements concerning their children, property, assets, and liabilities. The Deed effectively is the couple’s “road map or course of action plan” for parting ways, enabling them to know exactly where they stand on various issues.

When You Might Need a Deed of Separation

Although they may have signed such a Deed, it must be highlighted that both parties are still considered legally married because the Deed does not change the legal status of the marriage. If either party wishes to remarry, they must obtain a divorce first.

There are numerous circumstances when it would be suitable for parties to execute a Separation Deed. The most common ones would be where:
  • The parties have decided to divorce but are not able to file a writ of divorce as they have been married for less than 3 years;
  • The parties have decided to go their separate ways but do not wish for a divorce (e.g. for religious reasons).
  • The parties want to fix an official separation start date to enable them to file for a divorce on the basis of separation at a later stage.
What Is Included in a Deed of Separation?
A Deed of Separation outlines various terms and conditions agreed upon by both parties during the separation period. Some of the key aspects covered in a Deed of Separation include:
  • Living Arrangements – This covers whether the parties will live separately or continue sharing the same residence without maintaining marital relations.
  • Initial Date of Separation – This outlines when the parties began living separately and a proposed date for the commencement of divorce proceedings.
  • Child Custody, Care, and Access Rights – This involves deciding whether one parent will have sole custody or if joint custody is granted. It also outlines visitation or access rights for the non-custodial parent.
  • Division of Matrimonial Assets – This covers the distribution of assets like property, savings, investments, and other jointly owned items between the parties involved.
  • Child and Spousal Maintenance – This outlines the arrangements for child support and specifies the amount and duration of financial support one spouse will provide to the other.
