A separation agreement is a private contract between two separating spouses that resolves all or most of the legal issues arising from the breakdown of a marriage or common-law relationship. When properly drafted, it is legally binding and enforceable in Ontario court.
But "properly drafted" carries significant weight. Ontario courts will set aside a separation agreement, or refuse to enforce it, if either party lacked independent legal advice, if there was a failure to disclose financial information, if one party signed under duress, or if the agreement is unconscionable on its face. A separation agreement prepared without a lawyer is not just risky. It is often worthless.
Our Toronto separation agreement lawyers have drafted and reviewed hundreds of agreements across every level of complexity, from straightforward separations with no property and no children, to multi-property, business-owning, high-net-worth files with contested spousal support and complex parenting provisions. We draft agreements that are built to last.
Our office is within reach of the key courts for your matter. We appear in these courts regularly and know the local judicial culture well.
Handles divorce, property division, and all family matters connected to a marriage. Separation agreement disputes are filed here.
Handles family matters for unmarried couples and standalone parenting and support proceedings not connected to divorce.
We represent Toronto clients at every stage of the separation process, from negotiating the initial terms through to signing a final, binding agreement.
A separation agreement drafted by Lexaltico covers all issues arising from your separation in a single document: how property is divided, who pays what support and for how long, how parenting time and decision-making will work, and how shared debts are allocated. We draft for clarity and durability, agreements that do not create ambiguity and do not need to be reopened every two years.
If your spouse has presented you with a separation agreement prepared by their lawyer, you need your own lawyer to review it before you sign. Independent Legal Advice (ILA) is not optional. It is the single most important protection you have. We review agreements thoroughly, explain every provision in plain language, identify terms that are unfair or unenforceable, and advise you on whether to sign, negotiate, or refuse.
When spouses cannot agree on the terms of separation, our Toronto family lawyers negotiate directly with the other side, or with their counsel, to reach a resolution that protects our client's interests. Most separation agreements are reached through negotiation rather than litigation. We approach every negotiation with the goal of reaching a fair, durable outcome without unnecessary conflict or cost.
