reconciliation agreement
reconciliation agreement. Family law. A contract between spouses who have had marital difficulties but who now wish to save the marital relationship, usu. by specifying certain economic actions that might ameliorate pressures on the marriage. • This type of agreement serves a limited purpose. In fact, many states have statutes prohibiting enforcement of contracts for domestic services, so if the agreement governs anything other than economic behavior, it may be unenforceable.
