A Florida separation agreement is intended for married couples who no longer want to live together but do not wish to get divorced. This agreement covers many of the same matters decided in a divorce. However, Florida does not recognize legal separation, meaning a divorce may be necessary for the terms of their separation to be enforceable.

Is a Separation Agreement Legal in Florida?

Florida does not recognize separation as a distinct legal status. However, couples can still draft agreements concerning property rights, and may obtain court-ordered alimony for a period of separation.^[1]
