Is a Separation Agreement filed with the court or recorded in the Register of Deeds office?
No. A Separation Agreement is a legally enforceable contract between the spouses. It is not filed with the court, and it is not usually recorded in the Register of Deeds office. However, you will need to record a Memorandum of Separation Agreement in the Register of Deeds office if the Separation Agreement requires either spouse to refinance the mortgage or purchase property in his or her own name during the separation period.
