An Arkansas separation agreement sets terms regarding the division of assets, spousal support, and more for couples who do not wish to get divorced, but no longer wish to live together as spouses.
Legal separation accomplishes many of the same goals as a divorce but allows couples the option to resume living together in the event of reconciliation.
