Document background
An Unmarried Separation Agreement is essential when cohabiting couples in Singapore decide to end their relationship. This document becomes particularly important given that unmarried couples lack the statutory protections available to married couples under Singapore's Women's Charter. The agreement provides legal clarity on property division, financial settlements, and arrangements for shared responsibilities, including children if any. It helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the agreed terms of separation and can be enforced under Singapore's contract law principles, though with limitations compared to matrimonial orders.
