Most clients sign their Marital Settlement Agreement within 4-5 months. In some cases, an expedited process is possible. The Marital Settlement Agreement defines the rights and obligations of each party and is enforceable in court, so it is the key piece legally.
We recommend that you neither move too quickly nor too slowly toward a signed Agreement. Without the Agreement, important legal and personal matters remain unresolved so it is not good to stay in “limbo” for too long. However, the Agreement will be one of the most important legal documents signed in your lifetime, so a fair amount of preparation and reflection is recommended.
