Separation Agreement — ILA
Before signing a separation agreement in Ontario, each party should obtain Independent Legal Advice (ILA) from their own lawyer. ILA confirms that you understand the agreement, your rights under it, and the consequences of signing — and it significantly strengthens the agreement's enforceability if it is ever challenged in court. This package provides a thorough review of your separation agreement, a full ILA session with a family lawyer, financial disclosure preparation limited to a Net Worth Statement, execution of the agreement, and a signed ILA Certificate.
What Is Included
- Review of the agreement with the client
- Advice on what signing the agreement entails and your rights under law and under the agreement

- Independent Legal Advice (ILA) Certificate
- Execution of the agreement
