weve agreed to draw up a deed of separation and get it all down on paper until our 2 years separation are up next october, and we can get divorced. but physically what is a deed of separation and how do we draw it up I.E. is it a proper recognised form that I can get from my friendly solicitor and we each fill sections in - or is a big old dusty scroll that we both fill in with a long feather quil , or do we just sit down with a pint a few sheets of A4 and jot down who,s getting what ??????

lionel,

A deed of separation can cover all the financial arrangements between you and your partner. It can also deal with what you have agreed about the children, and any plans that you may have to divorce, or not divorce, in the future.

A deed of separation is not automatically binding on a divorce court. If you later divorce, you may need to make your agreement binding by a financial order made as part of the divorce.

You can draft this yourselves but more often that not will be advised to obtain the services of a sol.
