Marriage and Separation Agreements

A marital separation agreement can allow you and your partner to sort out problems without the hassle of divorce. Our skilled lawyers are regularly called upon by our clients to assist them to negotiate their issues and draft formal written agreements outside of court.

It is always important to have a lawyer draft up or review written agreement as the Supreme Court of Canada has indicated that settlements, where lawyers are involved in negotiating, drafting, and revising the final agreement, are more enforceable than agreements prepared without a lawyer’s participation. Our lawyers have in-depth experience in preparing formal written agreements.

If you are planning to get married or want to start a new relationship, you may benefit from a formal legal agreement. Cohabitation or marriage agreements deal with what will happen with children, liabilities, property, and support issues if the relationship or marriage breaks down in the future. A formal written agreement can grant peace of mind and allow couples to move forward with a healthy and happy relationship.
