As far as I can see, you need a Consent Order (legally binding agreement which must be approved by the court). To get this you must start the divorce proceedings. If you don't want to divorce I think something called a Judicial seperation exists which would allow the consent order to go through; basically the courts legally seperate your financial affairs but you can't remarry (LOL).

If you don't do this then your present agreement is worthless.

If you can keep it amicable you might get away with under a grand on fees - look at one of the online services - but they don't advise so if you can't agree between yourselves don't bother with them
