Property Settlement Agreement

Property Settlement Agreement PSA or MSA

A Property (or Marital) Settlement Agreement clearly defines what each party is entitled to and their responsibilities after a divorce. A PSA (or MSA) can be drafted at any time during a divorce and is the final agreement that you and your spouse reach involving division of assets, alimony, custody and child support and can be incorporated or merged into the divorce decree.

A PSA is not necessarily important if you have no assets, debts or children, however, if you want to provide for the future guidelines of your relationship, a PSA should be drafted as this document details exactly what each party has agreed upon and clearly outlined in written form.

A PSA is a binding agreement however you and your spouse can amend the agreement at any time if you both consent to those change or if they are modified by a Court Order (provided that the agreement does not contain language that it cannot be subject by Court Order).

Since the Property/Marital Settlement Agreement is final and binding, all terms should be considered and negotiated carefully by an experienced attorney. A carefully documented Agreement can save a party an inordinate amount of future money and time in Court proceedings involving custody, support and distribution of assets.
