I'm not sure why you don't want to use a lawyer. If you are both agreeable, it won't be expensive. If you aren't in agreement, then you definitely need one. Either way, a lawyer will protect your interests. It sounds to me like you aren't very familiar with the law, so this might be something to reconsider. Good luck

I don't know any Canadian laws on this... this is probably a good place to ask though. I don't know how legal the seperation would be unless you use an attorney though, sorry. Usually, it takes a lawyer and money, just like with a divorce.

Here in the US we have these places called courthouses. They do all sorts of cool legal stuff there. Here in the US I'd just go down to the courthouse and ask the clerk of the court how to preceed. Too bad you live in Canada, I doubt they have anything like this up there.

specific - NC and Maryland have that - you may desire to be formally separated for a year and those seperation papers are filed in courtroom - those papers grow to be the coolest divorce papers. And in case you or him circulate in mutually at any time for the duration of that year of separation, you will could desire to start as quickly as greater. i be attentive to as a results of fact I have been given my divorce in Maryland and be attentive to proper to the rule of thumb as a results of fact somebody virtually made it a year and then he stayed in one day and had to start the count quantity throughout!
