It illustrates the sorts of issues couples customarily must address to keep their separation constructive and free of misunderstandings. Each couple’s agreements must be the ones they find best and will differ in some respects from this sample. See the Jacobi Agreement below (page5) for another example.  \n1.  Our Relationship:  \nWe acknowledge that we have had significant problems in our marriage, and we now think it would serve our chances of renewing and saving our marriage if we were to separate temporarily and constructively.  \nWe’ll make arrangements to separate for three to six months to give us a chance to restore courtesy to our relationship and, if possible, renew and restore our marriage. We have agreed that Ken will find an apartment no more than five miles from our home and that we’ll make our physical separation a cooperative effort, including by making it as sensitive as possible to our children, Sammy and Rachel.  \nWe agree not to use legal proceedings to define our relationship or duties toward eachother. We’ll make every effort to choose our actions and words based on our feelings for each other, our children, and our marriage instead of what we might argue we could legally force each other to do.  \nWe’ll continue to function as a team for our children (sharing information on them and making joint decisions for them) . We’ll continue to function as a single financial unit and will make major purchases only by agreement.  \nWe’ll use the following agreements to help us succeed in our marriage or, failing that, in assuring that any divorce is as civil, respectful, and sensitive as possible.  \n2. Focus on Our Children:  \nWe’ll consider not only our own interests but Sammy’s and Rachel’s when choosing any course of action.  \nWe have both completed the work on [www.WhileWeHeal.org](www.WhileWeHeal.org) and have merged our chosen Commitments to into a set of“Agreed Commitments to Sammy and Rachel.”We’ll regularly read something from those “Agreed Commitments” to help us do better for our children and ourselves.  \nTo give ourselves some simple guides for better child-focused interaction, starting immediately we’ll make every effort to observe the “8 Hidden Keys” from that website:  \n• Living by the Child Safety Zone  \n• Keeping Sammy and Rachel out of adult roles  \n• Sharing 10 good things about their other parent  \n• Celebrating what they get to do with their other parent  \n• Cheerfully encouraging calls to their other parent  \n• Promptly sharing child-related information  \n• Staying out of legal combat  \n• Enjoying and admiring Sammy and Rachel  \nWe’ll discuss our children’s adjustment with our counselor (see \\#8 below) and consider counseling for them if they aren’t doing well. We’ll work out a schedule for Sammy and Rachel to have plenty of time with both of us. We’ll try to ensure that neither child goes more than two days without spending time with each of us. We’ll adjust our schedule as we learn more about how the separation is going and how our children are responding.  \nWe’ll work together and with our counselor on a short script we can share in a joint meeting with Sammy and Rachel about the family’s circumstances and how we propose to make things better.1 We’ll have that family meeting with Sammy and Rachel in the next two weeks.  \n3.  Our Physical Separation:  \nWithout denying the sadness of our need to separate, we will plan ways we can use our actual separation to show Sammy and Rachel that we are working together, being courteous, and getting healthier in our interaction. Megan will help Ken move into his apartment, and we will introduce the children to the apartment together.  \nWe agree not to visit or stop by each other’s residence without specific invitation.  \n4. Financial Considerations:  \n1 We’ll use some of the following for guides in deciding together what to tel","cbCaio2CUGK7oBk6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio2CUGK7oBk6","pdf",107759,8,"English","# Our Relationship\n## Focus on Our Children\n## Our Physical Separation\n## Financial Considerations\n## Avoiding Legal Proceedings","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this No-Divorce-Today separation agreement?\",\"answer\":\"It is a sample agreement intended to show how couples can separate temporarily and constructively to reduce misunderstandings and increase the chances of improving the marriage.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the agreement address parenting and communication with the children?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes continued teamwork, joint decisions, regular reading of “Agreed Commitments,” and following the “8 Hidden Keys” to keep children safe and out of adult roles.\"},{\"question\":\"What financial rules are included during the separation term?\",\"answer\":\"The agreement treats the family as a single financial unit, limits major purchases to mutual agreement (no purchases over $50 without consultation), and defines shared responsibility for ongoing obligations.\"}]","Sample No-Divorce-Today Separation Agreement between Ken and Megan Carlson | PDF",1789576473]
