Legal Separation Agreement Form

Legal Separation Agreement Form Template

When couples decide to live apart but aren't ready to pursue divorce, a legal separation agreement provides the formal framework needed to protect both parties' interests and establish clear expectations around property, finances, and children.

This legal separation agreement form template is designed for law firms, family law attorneys, legal aid organizations, and mediation services handling separation cases. It streamlines the intake and documentation process by capturing all essential information in one structured, professional form—from property division and debt allocation to child custody arrangements and spousal support terms.

Why law firms choose Paperform for legal separation agreements

Unlike rigid PDF forms or basic survey tools, Paperform gives legal professionals a document-style editor that creates forms matching your firm's brand and professionalism. You can embed forms on your website, share secure links with clients, or white-label the experience entirely. Conditional logic shows relevant questions based on whether children are involved, whether there are shared assets, or whether reconciliation is being considered—creating a cleaner, less overwhelming experience for clients during an already stressful time.

Once submitted, you can route data directly into your case management system, trigger follow-up emails, or use Papersign (papersign.com) to transform the submission into a formal agreement ready for both parties to review and sign electronically. This keeps everything connected—from initial intake to executed document—without manual data entry or version control headaches.

For firms managing multiple cases or clients, Stepper (stepper.io) workflows can automate what happens next: assign the case to the right attorney, create tasks in your project management tool, update your CRM, and send confirmation emails to both parties—all triggered the moment someone submits the form.

Built for legal professionals who value efficiency and client experience
