You can think of the marital settlement agreement as the preliminary process required when getting divorced. On the other hand, a divorce decree legally mandates that you are divorced in the eyes of the law.
A settlement agreement differs from a separation agreement as it sets the terms for the divorce, not the separation. A settlement agreement should address all central issues of the divorce. This can include things like division of marital assets and debts, child custody, and child support, as well as spousal support.
In the District of Columbia, all assets acquired during the marriage are considered marital property. This means that each spouse is entitled to half of the total value of these assets.
There is no required period of separation before you can file for divorce. You can get additional information concerning divorce and receive help completing the necessary court papers to file a divorce by visiting the Family Court Self-Help Center, Room JM 570 of the Superior Court.
A new DC law eliminates a waiting period before divorce, a change spurred by victim advocates who say it will particularly help domestic violence survivors seeking to separate from an abusive spouse.
