One of the issues that you might come across is the separation agreement. This agreement outlines a variety of matters that might come up while you are separated from your ex but before you get divorced. It is important to know that this is a binding agreement. You can’t just ignore the terms of the agreement if you decide later that you don’t like them.

If you opt to go through with the divorce, you should remember that there are only three grounds for divorce in Canada: adultery, 1 year of separation, or mental and physical cruelty. While adultery and cruelty are possible, many couples opt for separation as the grounds for a divorce.
