An affidavit of separation is a legal document that proves that you and your spouse have separated. The affidavit outlines the individual information of the couple or parties, a statement that states that there is no possibility of reconciliation, and custody information (which parent gets full custody and which parent is required to provide child support). Once the affidavit has been completed, it must be signed and notarized at the notary public. An affidavit of separation is best completed with a template.
