Divorce is not an easy decision, especially when children are involved. Aside from the emotional difficulty, there are also economic considerations in this decision. So, more than once, even when the relationship is in crisis, the couple is debating how to act. Signing a Marital reconciliation or divorce agreement is a solution for some couples. It is not uncommon for couples to seek another chance at a relationship. At the same time, there is a fear that the other party may not be entirely honest. This is because they may take advantage of this period to gain an advantage in the divorce proceedings. The solution for these couples is to sign a marriage reconciliation agreement with a divorce alternative as part of which, both spouses lay out in an orderly contract the conditions for their marriage to be restored and also draft a divorce agreement, which will become effective if the marital reconciliation process fails.
By doing this, the couple will have the opportunity to bond with each other and devote their full resources to it, knowing that if they divorce, their divorce matters will be settled already. Contacting an attorney specializing in family law is crucial to determining your options and how to proceed.

The first part of the agreement is the marriage reconciliation agreement
It is important to note that, as the name suggests, a marital reconciliation agreement includes an alternative to divorce. This agreement has two relevant aspects: reconciliation and divorce. First, the partners agree on a set of rules and conditions that must be met by each of them in order to restore their relationship. As a goal, it is to continue to live together, maintain the family unit and to prevent divorce from occurring During the process of establishing these principles, the parties should place particular emphasis on resolving the conflicts that arose between the spouses that led to the crisis. This is the only way to ensure the success of the process of marital reconciliation.
Here are some examples of rules that the couple can outline in the Marital reconciliation agreement: the parties’ commitment to investing in couple quality time, attending family meals together twice a week, seeking couple therapy, setting forth principles regarding child education, and other aspects necessary for the restoration of the marriage. It goes without saying that both spouses must be sincere and genuinely willing to rebuild their relationship. If this is not the case, both partners are wasting their time.
PART TWO: The Divorce Agreement
When the agreement was drafted, the parties hoped that they would be able to maintain a peaceful relationship at home. For all intents and purposes, the second part of the agreement is actually a divorce agreement in case the reconciliation attempt fails. Upon the decision that the situation cannot be resolved, the divorce agreement will become effective. In order to formulate agreements, a dialogue is conducted with the couple regarding the various issues at stake. Because the parties intend to restore their relationship, the dialogue in this case is conducted in a more pleasant and fair manner than it would be in a normal divorce proceeding.
