Separation Agreement — Drafting
A separation agreement is a binding domestic contract that governs how property is divided, how debts are allocated, spousal and child support obligations, and parenting arrangements after separation. In Ontario, separation agreements are governed by the Family Law Act and the Children's Law Reform Act, and must meet strict requirements — including financial disclosure and independent legal advice for both parties — to be enforceable. This package covers the full drafting of the agreement according to your instructions, a thorough review with you before execution, an ILA Certificate, execution of the agreement, and basic financial disclosure, all within an 8-hour engagement.
