Document background
A Legal Separation Agreement is crucial for couples in Singapore who wish to formalize their separation without pursuing divorce. This document, governed by Singapore's Women's Charter, provides a comprehensive framework for managing separate lives while maintaining the legal marriage. It typically addresses property division, financial obligations, living arrangements, and child custody if applicable. The agreement helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting both parties' rights and responsibilities during the separation period. It can serve as a stepping stone to divorce or as a long-term arrangement for couples who choose not to divorce for religious, cultural, or personal reasons.
