Your Separation Agreement

I read an article written by Sarah Hampson recently. It spoke about how divorced people can move on with life after separation. I share the same views as hers when she spoke about love. Wow, she has wonderfully taken a dig at a few authors who have written about life after divorce, saying that all such books make love look like a complicated project rather than a sweet exchange of emotions and life. With divorce in Canada on the rise, this column of hers will be able to show some insight on life and marriage to all who are married and to all who are thinking of taking divorce.

The issue of whether you can ever really be sure that separation agreement is legally binding is a tricky one. It s also referred to as a divorce agreement or as minutes of settlement. Essentially it is a contract between persons who have been, and maybe still are, legally married, or who have been in a so-called common law relationship. It addresses things like how property is to be divided, the payment of spousal and child support, and how children are to be cared for.
