What Is a Separation Agreement?

A separation agreement is a written contract that sets out how you and your former partner (married or common law) will move forward after deciding to live apart. It covers important matters such as parenting time and decision-making for children, child and spousal support, the matrimonial or family home and division of all other property, assets, and debts.

In Ontario, a separation agreement can be created through open discussions between you and your partner, with the help of lawyers, or through mediation. When done properly, it becomes a legally binding document that gives both of you clarity, stability, and peace of mind.

A well-crafted agreement can help reduce misunderstandings and conflict, protect your rights, and give you a clear plan for the future. This allows you to focus on what matters most: moving forward with confidence. With the right legal guidance, a well-structured agreement can minimize conflict, protect your interests and provide a clear foundation for your next chapter.
