Choosing a DIY Separation Agreement doesn’t mean avoiding lawyers entirely. Learn how independent legal advice fits into a hybrid approach that protects your rights without dragging out the process or inflating costs.

Creating a separation agreement means addressing property distribution, child support, spousal support, and parenting arrangements. A strong agreement requires complete financial disclosure, even small assets, proper documentation, and ideally independent legal advice. Whether you use a lawyer, mediator, or DIY platform like Divii, the key is making informed decisions that both parties can live with.

A Separation Agreement is a legally binding document that outlines your parenting arrangement, Child Support and Spousal Support Agreements, as well as property distribution and equalization payments. This document is what you will file to the courts along with your divorce application when you file for divorce.
