A Private Separation Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Nigeria when married couples decide to live separately without immediately pursuing divorce. This document serves as a formal contract that outlines the terms of separation, including property division, financial arrangements, and child custody matters where applicable. It operates within the framework of Nigerian law, incorporating both federal legislation (such as the Marriage Act and Matrimonial Causes Act) and relevant state laws. The agreement is particularly valuable in situations where couples need to formalize their separation arrangements while maintaining their married status, whether for religious, cultural, or practical reasons. It provides legal protection for both parties by clearly defining their rights and obligations during the separation period, while remaining flexible enough to accommodate future modifications if circumstances change.
