Property Settlement Agreements

In New Jersey, a property settlement agreement (PSA) involves more than determining the division of property. A PSA lays out each person’s rights, obligations, and responsibilities associated with a divorce. At Aretsky Law Group, P.C., in Ridgewood, New Jersey, we work closely with our clients to ensure the provisions in the property settlement agreement protect their current and long-term interests.

Property settlement agreements, also known as marital separation agreements, can be drafted prior to filing for divorce or after filing for divorce. This comprehensive document lays out all the final decisions regarding the divorce:

• Property division
• Division of debts
• Child custody
• Visitation
• Child support payments as long as they are consistent with New Jersey law
• Alimony or spousal maintenance
• Health insurance
• Pension Plans
• Tax Issues
• Future Dispute Settlement

Because the property settlement agreement establishes each person’s rights and responsibilities, it is important to have a clear understanding of marital property prior to drafting the settlement agreement. We work with our clients, as well as forensic accountants, career rehabilitation experts, and psychologists, to ensure we understand the totality of our client’s situation.
