Separation Agreement

I’m going through an amicable split with the other half and need to sort a separation agreement out as we cannot legally get divorced just yet :-/
I’m trying to find a free separation agreement online but not having much luck , also ANY advice from people who have gone through this process before would a great help !

When i got divorced (some years ago now) we had a pre-separationg agreement. Basically it stated how we were going to split the house and that after the split, neither of us would be able to claim off the other, even for things that we had running at the same time as we were together such as pensions, or savings that would pay out at a leter date.

It was pretty much sell the house, split the money and thats all you’re ever going to get your hands on, even if in a months time, some shares i bought when we were together sell for £50 million, you ain’t getting squat.

They help stop things getting nasty. It only takes one call at the wrong time of day and an amicable split all goes to crap. With this in place, if it all goes nasty, it stops either of you crapping on the other.

Hi, not married by recently gone through a split.
Was overall amicable, however we had to deal with the house.
I got a “deed of trust” drawn up at solicitors who specialised in property law – not cheap but i wanted it done properly. I had read that the online ones can often be not be too legally sound when it comes to it. Cost £360 all in.
It covered the house as she wanted to move out and get money back to cover her intial deposit. I am now protected in house from her making any attempt to come back into the house (as still on mortage) or make me sell or basically do anything in regards to house. She goes and gets X amount when I get mortgage transfered soley to me. Separation ageement would need to go through a family law solicitor as far as i understand – if a deed of trust would not cover what you are looking for.

Thank you both for the info , its all a bit confusing to me at the moment!
Chopper , hadn’t heard of the deed of trust but sounds like the extra bit i need to feel more secure about it all . I’m still in the house and she buggered off , I’ve decided (with some help from the parents) to buy her out of the house and my parents and i are concerned about her trying to get anything out of the house at a later date when we can actually go through with divorce . I don’t want my parents to lose out too if it got nasty .
So i will start planning a separation agreement and a deed of trust !

No problem, glad to have been of some help.
With deed of trust I told the solicitor what we had agreed and they put their standard legal stuff in, then added what we had additionally agreed. So she wanted nothing out of house other than deposit back,so when I get mortgage in my sole name thats all she will get. Nothing more, nothing less.
I also added in that while her name is still on mortgage that she agrees to no right of access and cannot authorise anyone else to access the house in her name. When she had signed all of this and it was back with solicitors, when she had moved out I changed the locks.
Sure you will be able to find a solicitors, however if you need it can send you link for the people I used. Did it all over email with a couple of phone calls, so locations isnt an issue.
Does seem a lot of cash for 2 sides of A4 but I feel secure and protected so its worth it in the end.

We just agreed what we thought was fair, typed it up then got our (Late teenage) kids to sign as witnesses then presented it to solicitors later down the line and asked them to draw up a divorce settlement based on that. Went to plan but there were no arguments.
