2. PERSONAL RIGHTS
Wife and Husband may and shall, at all times hereafter, live separate and apart. Each shall be
free from all control, restraint, interference or authority, direct or indirect, by the other in all respects
as fully as if she or he were unmarried. Each may reside at such place or places as she or he may
select. Each may, for her or his separate use or benefit, conduct, carry on and engage in any
2

provision shall not be taken, however, to be an admission on the part of either Wife or Husband of
the lawfulness of the causes that led to, or resulted in, the continuation of their living apart. Wife
and Husband shall not molest, harass, disturb or malign each other or the respective families of each
other, nor compel or attempt to compel the other to cohabit or dwell by any means or in any manner
whatsoever with her or him.

her right, title and interest to any and all furniture, furnishings, rugs, carpets, household equipment

without seeking any support from the other party.

efforts to do so in compliance with this agreement, and this provision may be specifically enforced
6
,
by the Court if there is a default. The reasonable attorney fees for enforcing this provision of this
agreement shall be recoverable from the other party in any Court action to enforce this provision.
Each party represents that they have not contracted any debt or liability for the other for
which the estate of the other party may be responsible or liable, and that except only for the rights
arising out of this Agreement, neither party will hereafter incur any liability whatsoever for which the
other party or the estate of the other party, will be liable. Each party agrees to indemnify or hold the
other party harmless from and against all future obligations of every kind incurred by them, including

her after the date of this agreement starting in January 2006.

such defense as may be available. It is agreed that this Agreement shall not be impaired by any
divorce decree that may be granted but shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the
granting of any such decree. This Agreement is not intended to condone and shall not be deemed to

may occur subsequent to the date hereof.

party in any such Court action may recover reasonable attorney fees related to such action from the
other party as shall be determined by the Court.
