A well drafted separation agreement will also include income tax provisions and other issues relating to the unique aspects of the particular case.
If you decide to file for a contested divorce (Chapter 208: Section 1B), you and your spouse will still have the option to create a separation agreement that addresses issues that you can both agree on. For those issues that you can't come to an agreement, the court is able to address those issues without going having to go to trial.
The benefit of a separation agreement is that it allows the parties to custom tailor a resolution of all outstanding issues. Trials are very costly from a financial point of view with no certainty in the outcomes.
