What Happens if a Husband and Wife Choose to Reconcile (Continue Living Together as Husband and Wife) After they have Signed a Marital Separation Agreement?
This issue has been dealt with on several occasions by the North Carolina courts. In general, a separation agreement will not be enforceable if the parties have actually reconciled after executing the separation agreement. The most recent North Carolina court decision addressing reconciliation after the execution of a separation agreement was issued in 2004 by the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
