Marital Settlement Agreement Attorneys
In the State of Florida, spouses filing for divorce have the option to draft and sign a marital settlement agreement, also commonly referred to as an MSA. A marital settlement agreement is a contract entered into by both parties outlining the terms of the divorce. As such it is a legally binding agreement which typically addresses matters including alimony, and child custody, as well as the division of marital property, and other assets. If you are in the process of filing for divorce, consult with one of the experienced attorneys at DML Attorneys, P.A. to decide if signing a marital settlement agreement is advantageous to your case.
Advantages of a Marital Settlement Agreement in Florida
Simplified Process - If you and your spouse can negotiate a mutually acceptable divorce settlement, you have the option to file for a simplified dissolution of marriage in Florida. Before you can do this, you need a Marital Settlement Agreement. Once your Marital Settlement Agreement is filed, you can accelerate the divorce process.
More Control - In terms of traditional divorce litigation, spouses do not always have as much control over the outcome of their divorce case as they anticipate. However, when spouses enter into a Marital Settlement Agreement, they can determine each aspect of the outcome.
Less Conflict - Divorce can be messy and combative between spouses. However, creating a Marital Settlement Agreement with your spouse allows you to finalize your divorce in a less confrontational way. When you and your spouse can agree on the terms of the Marital Settlement Agreement, whether with or without a divorce attorney, you can effectively minimize conflict throughout your divorce.
Less Expensive - Entering into a Marital Settlement Agreement allows you and your spouse to avoid lengthy litigation, reducing costs associated with a prolonged divorce and allowing you to settle your case sooner.
Legally Enforceable - A Marital Settlement Agreement is a legally binding document, meaning it is a legally enforceable contract outlining the terms of your divorce. This is a great option for parties concerned with their ex-spouse’s compliance with the agreed upon terms and conditions of the divorce. Entering into an Marital Settlement Agreement gives you the assurance that your ex-spouse will be legally required to adhere to the Marital Settlement Agreement.
