Toronto Separation Lawyer

Our Toronto Separation Lawyers at Separy Law PC can assist you with your separation needs. In Ontario, “Separation” is the result of a breakdown in a relationship between two individuals who are in a romantic relationship with each other, and there is no chance for reconciliation. This generally occurs when the couples decide that the romantic relationship has come to an end and stop living with one another.

Couples can also be separated while they continue to reside in the same household, and attempting to resolve issues in relation to how to deal with their division of property, child custody, child support and spousal support obligations.

Separation is also important for the purposes of divorce as separated couples in Ontario must be separated for 12 months or more in order to meet the requirements of Ontario law in applying for a divorce. Our lawyers can discuss this your rights after separation at a consultation.
