Generally parties will exchange documents prior to executing a separation agreement, but there is no requirement that they do so if the parties wish to forgo this process. The process for completing a marital separation agreement is the same regardless of the amount of time that you have been separated. P.S.

I have been separated since March 30, 2007 whereby I moved from Florida to North Carolina. My husband remained in Florida. We were married in Florida on October 16, 2004. We have already distributed property and we have a Free Trader Agreement filed with Rowan County, NC County Clerk’s office. We each purchased our individual homes in July, 2007 after selling our home in Florida. There aren’t any children in the marriage. How do we complete a Marital Separation Agreement since we have already been separated for over a year ? Is a Financial Statement still required since there aren’t any children from the marriage?
