Material Settlement Agreements

Resolving Divorce Matters with Marital Settlement Agreements

Marital Settlement Agreements (MSAs) simplify the divorce process by addressing key issues such as property division, alimony, child custody, and support. At Lebovitz Law, we help clients in Towson and across Maryland draft fair and comprehensive agreements that provide clarity and prevent future disputes.

How Marital Settlement Agreements Work

An MSA is a legally binding document that outlines the terms agreed upon by both spouses. These agreements are often reached through negotiation or mediation, with the goal of avoiding lengthy court proceedings.
