Settlement agreements and separation agreements are now used interchangeably to include both agreements entered into by couples contemplating a separation or divorce or no litigation has begun and also by couples resolving their differences during litigation. In either case, the purpose of the agreement is to avoid the expense of protracted litigation, the emotional toll on the parties, the children, and even the extended families, and the uncertainties that pervade litigation. Because such agreements are complicated, factually and legally, involve the resolution of myriad issues only some of which are financial, and involve very specialized legal concepts and language, the need for experienced attorneys to guide a party through negotiation and resolution of all of these issues and to ensure that the agreement as drafted embodies precisely what the client understands is their agreement, the services of an experienced matrimonial lawyer is indispensible.
