Marital Domestic Separation and Property Settlement Agreement Adult 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 Nevada, but does include basic and other provisions.

General Summary:

Separation agreements are permitted within certain limits. The parties are not able to contract to change their legal relationship except as to property, and except that they may agree to an immediate separation and may make provision for the support of either of them and of their children during such separation. If a contract executed by a husband and wife, or a copy thereof, be introduced in evidence as an exhibit in any divorce action, and the court shall by decree or judgment ratify or adopt or approve the contract by reference thereto, the decree or judgment shall have the same force and effect and legal consequences as though the contract were copied into the decree, or attached thereto.

If an agreement by the parties settling their property rights has been approved by the court, modification of the agreement requires the agreement of the parties by stipulation or that provision for modification by the court be within the terms of the settlement agreement.

In "summary proceedings", a separation agreement is required where issues are present regarding minor children; joint or community property and/or liabilites relative to joint or community property; or, spousal support.

Section NRS 123.070

Contract altering legal relations: Separation agreement; consideration; introduction in evidence in divorce action:

2. The mutual consent of the parties is a sufficient consideration for such an agreement as is mentioned in subsection 1.

3. In the event that a suit for divorce is pending or immediately contemplated by one of the spouses against the other, the validity of such agreement shall not be affected by a provision therein that the agreement is made for the purpose of removing the subject matter thereof from the field of litigation, and that in the event of a divorce being granted to either party, the agreement shall become effective and not otherwise.

4. If a contract executed by a husband and wife, or a copy thereof, be introduced in evidence as an exhibit in any divorce action, and the court shall by decree or judgment ratify or adopt or approve the contract by reference thereto, the decree or judgment shall have the same force and effect and legal consequences as though the contract were copied into the decree, or attached thereto. NRS 123.080.

If a decree of divorce, or an agreement between the parties which was ratified, adopted or approved in a decree of divorce, provides for specified periodic payments of alimony, the decree or agreement is not subject to modification by the court as to accrued payments.
