Arkansas Separation Agreement

An Arkansas separation agreement is a legal document used by couples who do not wish to get divorced, but who no longer wish to live together as spouses. The agreement sets terms regarding the division of assets, spousal support, and more. Legal separation accomplishes many of the same goals as a divorce without formally annulling a marriage.
