    Legal Separation
    Services

    Under Guelph’s Family Law Act, the definition of a separation is when spouses live separate and apart with no reasonable prospect of resuming cohabitation, this does not require any form of document or a court order. What is required is that an objective 3rd party would say that the spouses are no longer living together as spouses, but are living their lives as separate individuals and the relationship has ended. Being separated does not depend on whether spouses are physically separated or not.

     

    Unlike divorce, both married and non-married spouses can legally separate. Once spouses are separated, they can make claims for spousal support and child support (if there are children). However, only married couples can make a claim for an equalization of net family properties. When spouses separate, it is recommended that they settle their affairs through a separation agreement or court order.

    Separation
    Agreements

    A Separation Agreement* is a legally binding document that summarizes the terms of your separation. This document typically includes all legal agreements pertaining to property (assets, debts, matrimonial home, gifts, inheritances), as well as child and spousal support, and a Parenting Plan.

     

    The Agreement also includes the agreed upon terms of any life insurance policies, and medical or dental plans. Our mediators use the terms reached during the mediation process to draft the Separation Agreement.

     

     

     

    * A Separation Agreement is a contract between you and your spouse or partner that states the settlement of issues relating to your separation. Drafting your Separation Agreement is an administrative task and by doing so does not mean we are implying that we are lawyers and providing any legal advice. We strongly encourage any persons who are going through mediation to receive Independent Legal advice from a family law lawyer.

    Co-Parenting

    Co-parenting Agreements, also called a Parenting Plan, is a document that comprehensively outlines the agreed upon plan for how you will raise your children after a legal separation. It includes clear guidelines and expectations on how you and your ex-partner will co-parent following the mutual separation, with regard to topics such as:

    Parenting Time
    Decision Making
    Residency Schedule
    Holidays
    Schedule Management of Recreational Activities
    Healthcare
    Religion
    Family, Friends and other Parties
    Introductions to New Partners
    Children’s Possessions Between Homes
    Screen Time
    Rules Around Mutual Respect and Boundaries

    It is very important to have a written plan in place during the separation process. This not only helps parents avoid future conflict, but is also for the health and well-being of children. Our goal as legal separation mediators in Guelph is to help you create a plan that reflects the needs and interests of your children following your marriage separation, so that they have the opportunity to thrive in an environment where co-parenting is strong and mutual respect forms the foundation of the family.

    What is Family Mediation?

    Separation can be a painful, challenging process. Family mediation is ultimately designed to make the marital separation process less difficult, by creating an environment that will allow both parties to forgo a mutual separation amicably. With family mediation, a qualified legal separation professional will facilitate collaboration between you and your ex-partner and help you both reach legally binding agreements on all aspects of your marriage separation, from assets to childcare.

    Together with your ex, you will build a fair, sustainable agreement that reflects both of your interests, and complete the marital separation process with a clear roadmap for moving forward.
