Create fair, legally sound agreements that cover parenting, finances, property, and support—available in Ottawa or remotely across Ontario.
Going through a separation is hard—legally, emotionally, and financially. A Separation Agreement is a written contract that helps both parties move forward with confidence. It outlines rights, responsibilities, and expectations around parenting, finances, and property, avoiding future conflict and costly legal battles.
Martie Goodyear offers mediation-based separation agreement support to help couples build agreements fairly, collaboratively, and cost-effectively—with the option of legal finalisation through your own lawyer.
