How a Lawyer Can Help
A separation agreement is a written contract between you and your spouse/partner. It will deal with the division of assets (houses, cars, vacation property) and liabilities (credit card debt, mortgage payments, taxes) and spousal support. If there are children involved, it will deal with parenting schedules, decision-making for the children and child support. A separation agreement is legally binding and enforceable. Done properly, under the supervision of a lawyer, creative clauses can be woven into a separation agreement that resolves disputed issues in a manner that is most favourable to you.

DIY Almost Never Works
Some people attempt to save money by taking the ‘DIY’ or ‘Do It Yourself’ approach and creating their own separation agreement or paying $99 online and answering a bunch of canned questions that may or may not have relevance to their particular family situation. The end result is often a separation agreement that is unenforceable, requiring a lawyer to step in and fix it. This can prove costly, especially if the matter has to go before a court to be resolved. Generally, it is less expensive to do a separation agreement correctly from the beginning with the help of a Law Society of Ontario Licenced Lawyer trained to help you craft a legally enforceable agreement.
