FAQ

In California employment law, a separation agreement is a written contract between an employer and a worker who is about to be terminated. The agreement generally requires the worker to waive all legal claims that they may have against the company. In exchange, the worker receives severance pay.

Write the terms of the severance package in a formal list that you will present to the employee at the termination meeting. Include a line at the end of the document for the employee's signature agreeing to the terms.

Severance packages typically include: A lump sum payment or a set number of full or partial paychecks. Compensation for any unused vacation, personal, or sick time. A set duration of continued health insurance coverage, or coverage until the employee gets a new job.

There are no formal steps in the Maryland separation process, and each case must be looked at separately. Couples who want to separate should try to amicably discuss their terms with each other. These terms should be negotiated, agreed to, and signed before either party moves out of the marital home.

Separation agreements in Maryland may be oral or written, but in order to be enforceable, they should be written, signed, and notarized. If you and your spouse are able to resolve all your issues in the separation agreement, it can make the process of divorce less contentious, and may decrease the overall costs.

Marital Domestic Separation and Property Settlement Agreement no Children parties may have Joint Property or Debts Effective Immediately

Note: This summary is not intended to be an all-inclusive discussion of the law of separation agreements in Maryland, but does include basic and other provisions.

General Summary: Separation and Property Agreements may be entered into by the parties dealing with issues of alimony, support, property rights, or personal rights, before a divorce is filed to be effective when signed as a contract. The terms of an agreement presented to the court and incorporated into the decree of divorce is thereby approved by the court. A separation agreement incorporated into a subsequent decree of divorce, but not merged into the decree, remains an independent agreement enforceable as a contract. If the agreement is merged into the decree, it is no longer enforceable as an independent contract but as an order of the court. If the parties wish to preclude modification of the terms of the agreement, the agreement must contain a clear non-modification clause.

Statutes:

Deeds, agreements, and settlements valid:
(a) Deed or agreement.- A husband and wife may make a valid and enforceable deed or agreement that relates to alimony, support, property rights, or personal rights.
(b) Settlement.- A husband and wife may make a valid and enforceable settlement of alimony, support, property rights, or personal rights. § 8-101.

Deed or agreement not bar to divorce:
A deed or agreement between spouses is not a bar to an action for absolute or limited divorce, regardless of whether the deed or agreement was executed:

(1) when the parties were living together or apart; or
(2) before, after, or while there was a ground for divorce. § 8-102.

Modification of deed, agreement, or settlement:
(a) Provision concerning children.- The court may modify any provision of a deed, agreement, or settlement with respect to the care, custody, education, or support of any minor child of the spouses, if the modification would be in the best interests of the child.
(b) Exception for provision concerning support of spouse.- The court may modify any provision of a deed, agreement, or settlement with respect to spousal support executed on or after January 1, 1976, regardless of how the provision is stated, unless there is a provision that specifically states that the provisions with respect to spousal support are not subject to any court modification.
(c) Certain exceptions for provision concerning alimony or support of spouse.- The court may modify any provision of a deed, agreement, or settlement with respect to alimony or spousal support executed on or after April 13, 1976, regardless of how the provision is stated, unless there is:

(1) an express waiver of alimony or spousal support; or
(2) a provision that specifically states that the provisions with respect to alimony or spousal support are not subject to any court modification. § 8-103.

Voluntary separation agreement as corroboration of testimony:
In a suit for absolute divorce on the grounds of voluntary separation, a separation agreement is full corroboration of the plaintiff's testimony that the separation was voluntary if the agreement:

(1) states that the spouses voluntarily agreed to separate; and
(2) is executed under oath before the application for divorce is filed. § 8-104.

Power of court to enforce or modify provisions:
(a) Enforcement by power of contempt.-
(1) The court may enforce by power of contempt the provisions of a deed,
agreement, or settlement that are merged into a divorce decree.
(2) The court may enforce by power of contempt or as an independent
contract not superseded by the divorce decree the provisions of a deed, agreement, or settlement that contain language that the deed, agreement, or settlement is incorporated but not merged into a divorce decree.
(b) Modification.- The court may modify any provision of a deed, agreement, or settlement that is:

(1) incorporated, whether or not merged, into a divorce decree; and
(2) subject to modification under § 8-103 of this subtitle. § 8-105.

Case Law:

Where the agreement provides that it shall be incorporated but not merged in the decree, it is patent that the parties did not intend merger and the agreement survives as a separate and independent contractual arrangement between the parties. On the other hand, where the agreement does not include a non-merger clause and it is incorporated in the decree, the agreement is superseded by the decree. The agreement, once incorporated and merged in the decree, is enforceable through contempt proceedings and may be modified by the court. Johnston v. Johston, 297 Md. 48 (1983) 465 A.2d 436

Where the parties intend a "separation agreement" to be incorporated but not merged in the divorce decree, the agreement remains a separate, enforceable contract and is not superseded by the decree. Johnston v. Johston, 297 Md. 48 (1983) 465 A.2d 436

Where the property settlement agreement is presented to the court for approval and is approved by the court and incorporated in the divorce decree, the validity of the agreement is conclusively established and the doctrine of res judicata operates so as to preclude a collateral attack on the agreement. Johnston v. Johston, 297 Md. 48 (1983) 465 A.2d 436
