Separation Agreement validity

[treas]

My ex and I drew up our own separation agreement (New Jersey) and had it signed in front of a notary. No lawyer was involved. The separation agreement was never entered as part of the final divorce decree. Is it valid?

My response:

No. Not until a judge approves and signs it.

If you're not familiar with Marriage Settlement Agreements, dollars to dimes it was written very poorly.

Poorly and in haste. Thanks for your quick response. T.
