Family Law
A separation agreement sets out how you and your partner will handle matters like parenting, support, and property after separating. Mida Law helps you draft, review, and understand these agreements.
Who this may help
Couples who are separating and want a clear written agreement — or someone who has been given an agreement to sign and wants it reviewed first.
People often ask what an agreement should cover, whether it is legally binding in Ontario, and whether they need independent legal advice before signing.
