Create Family & Divorce Documents in Minutes

You are separating and want to write down the deal while things are still calm. Honestly, many blowups happen because nobody captured the basics early, so each person remembers a different promise two months later. A written separation agreement can cover who stays in the home, how bills get paid, and what happens with the kids while you work toward a longer-term plan.

You are divorcing and need to put terms in a format your state court will recognize. Some states call it a "marital settlement agreement," others fold it into "stipulated judgments" or "decrees," and the court may still want extra local forms. The template gets you a solid core agreement, and you tailor it to your facts and your county's filing requirements.

You co-parent and need a parenting plan that actually works on a Tuesday. Overnights, school pickup, vacations, travel notice, video calls, right of first refusal, and how you handle a sick child. If it is not written down, it turns into text-message litigation, and judges hate that.

You need to set or adjust child support in writing. The amount is usually driven by a guideline formula, not vibes, and it can change with a job loss, a new job, or a shift in parenting time. A clear support agreement also helps when you need to show terms to a state child support agency, daycare, or a benefits administrator.

• Separation agreement templates: Define living arrangements, temporary support, bill sharing, and ground rules while you live apart.
• Marital settlement agreement templates: Cover property division, debt allocation, spousal support, tax issues, and the terms that typically get incorporated into a final divorce decree.
• Parenting plan templates: Spell out legal custody vs. physical custody, parenting time schedules, exchanges, holidays, travel, communication, and dispute resolution steps.
• Child support agreement templates: Document guideline-based support, payment method, health insurance, uncovered medical costs, childcare, and review triggers.
• Spousal support (alimony) agreement templates: Set amount and duration, termination events (remarriage, cohabitation in some states, death), and tax handling where relevant.
• Child-related expense sharing agreements: Split extracurriculars, tutoring, braces, and school costs with receipts, caps, and approval rules.
• Name change request templates (where applicable): Support a post-divorce name change request with the language courts commonly expect, subject to local rules.

Family law is primarily governed by state statutes and state court rules, so "fully compliant" always means "matched to the right state and used the right way." The court’s north star in custody and parenting time is almost always the best interests of the child standard. That phrase is everywhere for a reason, and judges use it to reject agreements that look fine on paper but fail basic safety or stability concerns.

Support is its own minefield. Child support is typically set under state guideline statutes or administrative rules, and many states require income disclosures, worksheets, or specific add-on allocations (health insurance, childcare, unreimbursed medical). If you write "no child support" without addressing guideline calculations, expect pushback. In many states, parents cannot waive child support in a way that harms the child, even if both adults agree and even if everyone is trying to keep things friendly.

Property and debt division also varies sharply by state. Community property states often start from a 50/50 frame for marital property, while equitable distribution states divide "fairly" and that may not be equal. Retirement accounts, the marital home, and business interests are where people get hurt by sloppy drafting. Another common problem is mixing up what you want with what you can enforce. For example, clauses about future behavior (dating restrictions, parenting "rules" without enforcement terms) may be ignored, and vague timelines like "as soon as possible" invite conflict.
