Separation Agreements
One of the most cost-effective options for separation can be retaining a lawyer to draft a separation agreement.
Although a lawyer can only act for one separating spouse, if you and your spouse can work together well enough to discuss and agree on the terms of your separation, then one of you can retain a lawyer to draft a separation agreement and the other is encouraged to obtain independent legal advice prior to signing it.
Some clients choose to retain a lawyer to draft a separation agreement and present it to their spouse, if matters are not complicated or the spouse does not wish to be involved in the process.
If you have created a “do-it-yourself” agreement online, it is recommended that you have a lawyer adapt this into a proper separation agreement to avoid problems in the future.
We can also assist in preparing detailed Parenting Plans, interim agreements and property agreements.
If you and your spouse have agreed on the terms of your separation agreement, we offer flat fee options with separation agreements starting at $2,500 plus taxes (flat fee determined in advance of drafting on a case by case basis due to varying levels of complexity).
