Reliable Legal Advice for Separation Agreements in Kingston

A legal separation is often the first step a couple will take when they’re planning a marriage dissolution or divorce.  At Petty Law Office, we understand that negotiating the terms and signing a separation agreement in Kingston are critical steps in a divorce process. This agreement is a binding contract between you and your ex-partner and must be properly prepared in accordance with the law. It is also very important to remember that separation agreements do not end a marriage; only a divorce order can do that in Canada.
