Our team helps you understand the legal grounds for divorce in Ontario and how they apply to your specific situation. If you’ve already created a separation agreement, we can incorporate those terms into your divorce application, streamlining the process.

Our goal is to help you initiate the divorce process ensuring all required information is included and properly presented. By utilizing our services during the divorce application phase, you can often achieve a smoother transition into the legal process, with clearer expectations and a stronger foundation for finalizing your divorce.
Domestic Contracts
At Positive Solutions Divorce Services, we provide valuable assistance in drafting cohabitation and prenuptial agreements through our collaborative mediation process. As experienced mediators, we facilitate open and constructive discussions between couples, ensuring that both parties’ interests and concerns are thoroughly addressed in the agreement. We guide couples through the crucial step of full financial disclosure, helping to create a comprehensive inventory of assets, debts, and financial expectations. Our team assists in exploring and negotiating fair terms that both parties feel comfortable with, often uncovering creative solutions that might not emerge in a more adversarial setting. While we don’t offer legal advice, we help couples understand the typical components of these agreements and identify areas that may require special attention. Once the couple has reached a mutual understanding on the terms, we will draft the applicable document that the parties can then take to their respective lawyers for independent legal advice prior to signing. Our mediated approach often results in more personalized, mutually satisfactory agreements while potentially saving time and reducing costs compared to purely lawyer-driven negotiations.
