You want to think it through before you make any final decision. Divorce is both stressful and expensive. It would be wiser to evaluate all options to save the marriage before deciding to file for divorce.
If you are not completely sure if you want to push through with the divorce process or legal separation, one of the best solutions that can help you is a marriage contract.
What is a Marriage Contract?
Before we define what a marriage contract is, let’s first point out what it is not. The marriage contract we are talking about is not referring to the marriage certificate you get after being wed. It is, rather, referring to a tool created by veteran divorce mediator, Colleen McNamee, to provide couples a final attempt to save their marriage.
How is the Marriage Contract Made?
Together with a divorce mediation expert from McNamee Mediations, you and your spouse will identify the root causes of your marital problems, which have led you to filing for divorce. Then, we will assist you with negotiating the terms of a written joint contract, which will address the agreed changes that need to be made, in order to try and save your marriage. This contract is also time-bound, which means that after an agreed span of time, you will reevaluate whether or not to complete the filing for your divorce you should the filing for legal separation or not. Once the document is finalized, it is notarized by legal counsel from McNamee Mediations.
How Does the Contract Work?
At the beginning of the divorce mediation process, the mediator prepares all the necessary paperwork for the divorce. But these papers will not be submitted to the court until the time designated in the marriage contract is over. When the time given in the agreement is up, and if one of the spouses decides to continue with the divorce process, all the paperwork necessary for filing is already prepared and will be submitted.
The marriage contract also includes the rights and responsibilities of the couple to each other during the agreed time that they will work out their marital issues. If, for some reason, one or both of you fail to adhere to the terms you both promised to abide by in the contract, and one of you decides to move forward with the separation, you can simply contact the mediator to file the documents with the court. Otherwise, the paperwork will just remain in a file indefinitely.
