Not everything in a separation agreement can be easily changed once it’s signed.
In this video, Board Certified Family Law Attorney Lisa Angel explains which terms can be modified and which are more difficult to change. Alimony and property distribution generally cannot be modified unless both parties agree, while child custody and child support can be modified when circumstances warrant it.
Before signing a separation agreement, it’s important to think carefully about what you want. Speaking with an attorney can help ensure you understand the terms you are agreeing to and don’t overlook anything that could affect you in the future.
