No, because there’s no such thing as filing for legal separation in Ontario. You are deemed legally separated when you and your spouse start living separate lives. And you don’t need to be living in separate properties to be classed as separated. You’ll still hear the term ‘legal separation’ used a lot, but this is normally to describe the contract that’s created between two spouses who are planning to split up.
I help smart and successful couples, create separation agreements with clarity and soft landings for secure futures, in 4 meetings or less without all the lawyer created overwhelming conflicts, confusion and costs. You can work with me by video conference or with a DTSW associate at any of our 6 DTSW Greater Toronto mediation centers, including | Aurora | Barrie | North York | Vaughan | Mississauga | Scarborough.
