The separation agreement is a binding contract that is there to help you set out how you should deal with each other now that your marriage is over. Most couples try to do this through negotiation or through a mediator. At the end of the separation, you are granted an uncontested divorce. Spousal support amounts can be even more difficult to resolve than child support.
There are Suggested Spousal Support Guidelines, which do not have the force of law and are based on a slightly complicated formula and presented as flexible ranges rather than a set amount. For the most part, the question of how to calculate child support is simple to answer. Although family cases used to involve fighting over budgets and children's needs, today most of our clients simply use the Child Support Guidelines.
Thank you Donald Baker and the whole team at Baker & Baker. He not only helped us to get our separation agreement finalized in record time, saving money and stress. He also helped me to overcome my anger which could have led to catastrophe.

For the most part, the question of how to calculate child support is simple to answer.
Although family cases used to involve fighting over budgets and children's needs, today most of our clients simply use the Child Support Guidelines.
These are tables that take into account each parent's income and the number of children in a family, and decide the amount of support that should be payable every month to the parent who has custody of the children.
Parents who are self-employed, or who earn far more or far less than the average Canadian, may need to adjust the Table amounts.

Toronto property division lawyer.
On the surface, the property division is fairly simple.
In principle, after separation, the financial net worth of each spouse is calculated and the net family property is equalized or split down the middle.
The spouse with more assets in his or her name pays the spouse with fewer assets half of the difference between their assets.
Both partners leave the marriage as equal partners in terms of property.
There is also a wide range of exceptions to the "split down the middle" approach, particularly if the relationship has been short.

While entering the courtroom may be necessary in a few cases, such as those involving domestic violence, in reality, the court process is usually exhausting and very expensive.
