The Separation and Settlement Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Malaysia when married couples decide to formally separate and settle their matrimonial affairs. This document is particularly relevant under the Malaysian Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 and is used either as a precursor to divorce proceedings or as a standalone agreement for couples who wish to live separately while remaining legally married. The agreement comprehensively addresses various aspects including asset division, financial arrangements, maintenance obligations, and where applicable, child custody matters. It provides a structured framework for separating couples to formalize their arrangements while ensuring compliance with Malaysian legal requirements and protecting both parties' interests.
