In Ontario, you are considered legally separated once you and your spouse or partner live apart with no intention of continuing the relationship. Unlike divorce, you don’t need a court order to be separated — but you do need a solid plan for parenting, property, and financial matters.
At P. Barron Family Law, we understand that separation can be one of the most difficult decisions in life. Whether you and your partner are parting ways temporarily or permanently, it’s important to have clear legal guidance so you know your rights, responsibilities, and options moving forward.
