Hi, I hired an attorney for $2,500, which is all I can afford at the moment. I’m living paycheck to paycheck, but I have enough in the bank to provide food, clothing, and basic necessities for my children.

My attorney suggested that I pursue a separation agreement. Then, in a year, when I file for divorce, the agreement would be filed with the courts and enforced at that time. They recommended this approach due to concerns regarding marital property and other considerations.

Anyone done a contract with regards to custody?
