Separation Agreements in Calgary
Achieving Comprehensive Separation Agreements
Few divorces are ultimately settled by a judge. In most cases, even when spouses intend to go to court, they end up resolving their issues through negotiation of a comprehensive legal separation agreement. Once achieved, this separation agreement can set the stage for an uncontested divorce because it is a legally binding document.
The separation agreement lawyers at Kirk Montoute Dawson LLP have substantive knowledge of all critical aspects of the divorce process. This knowledge contributes to clients gaining guidance on signing a separation agreement. In addition, we are experienced negotiators who can provide flexible and innovative separation agreement options that are right for you and your family. Learn how our separation agreement lawyers can offer independent legal advice by scheduling an initial consultation.
Contents Of Separation Agreements
- Child custody and access arrangements
- Child support, including provisions for special and extraordinary expenses
- Spousal support, including payors or recipients of spousal support
- Asset division, including household debts and liabilities
Once a legal separation agreement is signed, it can be turned into a court order to ensure its enforcement. In the years following a divorce, some aspects of the separation agreement such as child custody, child support, access and spousal support may be renegotiated. We will work with you to help you achieve a feasible separation agreement before divorce, and we can represent your needs and those of your child if reassessment is necessary.
