A Separation Agreement is a contract between you and your estranged partner that sets out all of the agreements reached in a comprehensive and easy-to-read document. A Separation Agreement can give you everything the Court can give you, with the exception of a Divorce Judgment, and more. Separation Agreements allow parties to customize their affairs in a manner that is fair to them and can contain solutions that the legislation does not provide.

Separation Agreements commonly include provisions relative to:

• Children: custody and care and control
• Support: whether for children or for a spouse
• Family Property: who keeps what assets and debts and what to do with the family home

But can include any other provisions that your family may need such as what happens with the family pet and how to share the family cottage if both parties want it to go to the kids.

What do we do?

A well-crafted Separation Agreement, particularly where there are children, forms the foundation of your relationship with your estranged partner for years to come and, when it comes to property and support, has a significant impact on your long-term financial health.

The lawyers at Visionary Law get to know your unique circumstances by collecting details from you regarding your assets, debts and income, and by asking pertinent questions to better understand your needs and the needs of your family. Once we have accumulated the necessary information we draft a proposal letter or an agreement for presentation to your estranged partner. We cooperate with the other lawyer, or self-represented party, to come to terms and, once terms are agreed to, we ensure that the Agreement is properly executed and that certain terms, such as the transfer of a family home or payment of an equalization payment, are fulfilled.
