Married · With childrenSeparation Agreement — Married with Children
What it covers
The most complete agreement. Covers decision-making responsibility and parenting time, child support (including Section 7 special expenses), spousal support, division of property and debts, the matrimonial home, and financial disclosure.
When it's the right fit
Best when you are legally married with children under 18 (or dependent children) and need parenting, support, and property equalization resolved in one document — whether you are settling cooperatively or preparing for mediation.
Married · No childrenSeparation Agreement — Married without Children
What it covers
Focuses on the financial side of a marriage ending: Net Family Property, the equalization payment, the matrimonial home, dividing assets and debts, spousal support (or a mutual release), and future disclosure.
When it's the right fit
Best when you are married with no dependent children and the main questions are who keeps what, whether spousal support is payable, and how to close things out cleanly.
Common-law · With childrenCommon-Law Separation Agreement — With Children
What it covers
Covers parenting time and decision-making, child support and special expenses, possible spousal support, and dividing jointly owned property and shared debts. Common-law partners do not have automatic equalization rights, so the agreement deals with what you own together and what you built together.
When it's the right fit
Best when you lived together as partners and have children — parenting and child support work the same as for married parents, while property is handled through joint ownership and contributions rather than equalization.
Common-law · No childrenCommon-Law Separation Agreement — No Children
What it covers
Deals with jointly owned property (like a home you bought together), shared debts, assets accumulated through joint effort, possible spousal support, and a clean financial break.
When it's the right fit
Best when you lived together without children and need to untangle a shared home, accounts, or debts — especially where one partner contributed to an asset held in the other’s name.
