Thanks for the reply. Is there any specific wordage that I should use to refer to the separation agreement to have it incorporated into the final decree? Also, will I need 3 copies of this as well as the Judgement when I go to court?

Thanks for the help.

Yes you should attach one copy of the Separation Agreement to each copy of the judgment. You should include language in the judgment that says, “The parties hereby incorporate by reference their separation agreement attached on ****date which is attached herein as exhibit 1.”

My ex and I would like to incorporate our separation agreement into our divorce.

  1. Does anyone know if this is allowed in Pitt County?
  2. To what document do you attach it?
  3. Do I need to modify the Judgement page to state that it is incorporated?

Also, if I wish to take my maiden name where do I petition for this on the required paperwork?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
