Separation agreements provide legally binding clarity and protect both parties’ rights during divorce
A well-drafted separation agreement serves as a comprehensive legal roadmap that outlines how former spouses will handle their separation and divorce. This essential document helps prevent future disputes and ensures both parties clearly understand their rights and obligations.
A proper separation agreement typically addresses:
- Property division and asset distribution
- Child custody and support arrangements
- Spousal support terms and conditions
- Debt allocation and financial responsibilities
- Living arrangements and household transitions
Working with a qualified family law professional or mediator can help ensure your separation agreement is thorough, fair, and legally enforceable under Canadian law.
