Both parties must sign the document and fully disclose their worth and assets before doing so.[1]
Laws
Permitted Content: A husband and wife may make a valid and enforceable deed or agreement related to alimony, support, property rights, or personal rights.[2]
Burden of Proof: A spouse attempting to attack an otherwise valid separation agreement under Family Law Article § 8–101 typically has the burden of proving it should not be enforced. However, suppose the spouse can prove that a confidential relationship existed between the parties when they formed the relationship. In that case, the spouse trying to enforce the agreement has the burden of proving that it should be enforced.[3]
