My ex and I just signed our separation agreement with our respective lawyers. My lawyer advised us to incorporate some clauses regarding spousal support in our agreement (and not the whole agreement) in our joint divorce application (I'm not sure which forms that will go into). According to my lawyer, the reason for doing so is that in case in the future one of us claims significant change in circumstances and challenges the terms of spousal support in the agreement, the court will not start the process from scratch to hear the case when the agreement is not filed with the court, but rather the court will be restricted to examine those spousal terms in the agreement.
This advice from my lawyer makes me confused on how and in what divorce form(s) to incorporate such spousal terms, and whether my lawyer advice is common practice.
I'll appreciate any feedback from forum members.
