What is my date of Separation? Evidentiary Sources to Consider<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At some point in an initial consultation with a family law lawyer, the discussion will turn to the date of separation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The date of separation is relevant to many family law issues, spousal support, property division and divorce to name the main ones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps not surprisingly the date of separation is not always self-evident, and like many things in family law is open to disagreement between the parties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That disagreement between the parties has spilled over to the courts. David Frenkel and Yunjae Kim in their recent paper Separation Date Principles and Assessment Guide<\/em> published in Canadian Family Law Quarterly have helpfully reviewed this caselaw and produced an excellent summary of the jurisprudence, the evidence considered and a separation date assessment guide. This paper is an excellent resource for any one seeking to grapple with the question: What is the date of separation?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the purposes of this blog post, however, I want to highlight what evidence that a court may consider in determining competing dates. This may be helpful to keep in mind in weighing whether or how one may prove a date of separation:<\/p>\n
