Document background
The Uncontested Separation Agreement is utilized in Singapore when married couples decide to live separately by mutual consent, prior to or instead of divorce proceedings. This document serves as a formal contract that outlines the terms of separation, including division of matrimonial assets, financial arrangements, and where applicable, child custody and maintenance provisions. It provides a framework for couples to manage their separation amicably while ensuring legal compliance with Singapore's Women's Charter and related family law legislation. The agreement can later serve as a foundation for divorce proceedings if the couple decides to formally end their marriage after the separation period.
