Lehigh Valley Divorce Attorneys
Separation Agreements
It is a simple fact of life that two people cannot live as inexpensively as they can when they are one household. Some couples, for practical reasons, decide that a separation agreement is the answer when neither expects to remarry and there are compelling reasons to stay legally married: healthcare needs, the housing market downturn or other reasons.
