Dear ally123:
Greetings. First, it is never my advice that clients record their separation agreements. Generally a separation agreement is specifically tailored to the parties, including account information, addresses, and other specifics which the parties do not want to become part of a public record. Therefore, I usually have my client sign a Memorandum of Agreement which they can register, which does not have their personal information for any person to find. Also, it is generally a lot less money to register a memorandum.
Now, if you are not going to heed my advice and plan to register your agreement anyway, you will need to take your separation agreement (an original copy with the notary seals) to the Register of Deeds office in the county where you reside. Make sure to bring cash to pay for the registration costs. Best of luck.
