Can you do a separation agreement without a lawyer?

Just because it is not required does not mean you should not have one. Each spouse must enter the legal separation agreement voluntarily without duress. Both spouses sign a written agreement in the presence of a witness.

Do both parties have to agree to a legal separation?

Yes, it is mandatory. Each party must obtain independent legal advice prior to signing a separation agreement. You also cannot use the same lawyer and should not use the same law firm. If you fail to obtain advice from a lawyer, the separation agreement will be unenforceable.
