I have a separation agreement, will I need a divorce?

Separation agreements and divorce

When you file a separation agreement make sure you are clear as to what it will mean. In some states a separation agreement automatically becomes a divorce after a set period of time. In other states a separation agreement will not turn into a divorce if one party reneges on any part of the agreement. In states where they can be made invalid, separation agreements are often just a waste of time, money, and emotions.
