What services do separation lawyers provide?

Separation lawyers assist with various aspects of the separation process, including legal documentation, negotiations, and representation in court if necessary. They provide guidance on issues such as property division, spousal support, child custody arrangements and child support.

How does separation differ from divorce?

Separation involves living apart with no chance of reconciliation while remaining legally married, whereas divorce legally ends the marriage. During separation, couples often address the same issues as in a divorce, such as property division and spousal support, but without legally dissolving the marriage.

What are the rights of common-law partners during a separation?

Common-law partners have specific rights and responsibilities during a separation. These can include claims to shared property and spousal support, depending on the duration and nature of the relationship. Consulting with a separation attorney at INB Family Law LLP can help clarify these rights and ensure they are protected.

How is property divided during a separation?

During a separation property is not divided. Your first step will be to get a separation agreement. Until then, you must maintain status-quo (what you are currently doing) with all belongings. Nothing should be changing during the period of separation. Once the separation agreement is finalized, all parties must adhere to the division of property laid out within.

What alternative dispute resolution methods are available for separation?

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation, collaborative law, and arbitration, can be effective for resolving separation disputes without going to court. These methods involve neutral third parties who help both parties reach a mutually agreeable solution, saving time and reducing conflict.

How is spousal support determined in a separation?

Spousal support, also known as alimony, is determined based on factors such as the length of the relationship, each partner's financial situation, and their respective needs and abilities. A separation attorney at INB Family Law LLP can provide guidance on what to expect and help negotiate a fair support arrangement.

How do I start the separation process?

Starting the separation process involves several steps, including determining your living arrangements, gathering financial documents, and consulting with a separation lawyer. It's crucial to understand your legal rights and responsibilities before making any decisions. Our lawyers can guide you through each step to ensure a smooth transition.

What should I consider when choosing a separation attorney?

When choosing a separation attorney, consider their experience, specialization in family law, and their approach to handling cases. It's important to find a lawyer who listens to your concerns, provides clear advice, and has a proven track record of successful outcomes. At INB Family Law, we prioritize our clients' needs and strive to provide compassionate and effective representation.
