Frequently Asked Questions

Is a separation agreement legally binding in Ontario?

Yes, a separation agreement becomes a legally binding contract in Ontario once it’s signed by both parties, before two witnesses. 

 This means that you and your former partner are obligated to follow the terms of the agreement by law. If one party fails to comply with the agreement’s terms, the other can take legal action to enforce it. 

What if a spouse won't sign a Separation Agreement in Ontario?

If your former spouse won’t sign a Separation Agreement, they are rejecting the terms of the contract. 

 In this situation, it’s best to consult with a lawyer to help you understand your options. They can help you write a demand letter, explaining the consequences of not signing the agreement. If they still refuse to sign, you might need to take legal action by filing a legal notice. If they still do not sign, you may need to take the matter to court.

Do you need a Separation Agreement before divorce in Ontario?

No, you do not need a Separation Agreement before divorce in Ontario. 

 However, a judge may require a separation agreement to prove that you’ve made adequate arrangements regarding child support and care.
