Separation Agreements Null an d Void?

Dear Monika1:

Greetings. Having sex does not make your separation agreement null and void. Reconciliation (which may or may not include having sex) does affect the enforceability of the separation agreement depending on the language of the agreement. When in doubt, take your agreement to an attorney and find out what you need to do. Best of luck.

The only reliable manner to obtain complete and adequate legal advice is to consult with an attorney, fully explain your situation, and allow the attorney sufficient opportunity to research the applicable law and facts required to render an accurate opinion.

If my spouse and I have a separation agreement and we sleep together during our 1 year separation. Does this make our separation agreement null and void. What recourse do I have to start over with a new separation agreement if he does not want to.
