  • Is this possible

    Okay heres a QUESTION

    If a couple has an agreement in place and they get back together for more than 90 days, and then they break up again say at 95 days, is it possible for "whoever" to re-start any support from the previous agreement or do they have to go through the whole process again?

    And if the support is started up again does that mean that the reconciliation did not happen?

    I believe it would depend on the terms of the separation agreement. Most separation agreements have reconciliation clauses.

      We agree that they have a court order in place for child support.

        The law states, and correct me if I'm wrong that a couple can reconcile for a period of 90 days. If within this time period they deside to split up again, thier original seperation date and terms remain the same.

          On one hand you have the law, but per say your separation agreement in place altered the length to say 150 days, your separation agreement would prevail. This is the power of a separation agreement. You can basically agree to your own terms of separation.

            and if it's after the amount of required day's they have to refile the agreement.

              I would think that If the separation agreement remains silent on reconciliation clauses, you have to refer to the law.


              Here is a typical wording from a separation agreement that makes the agreement and terms to prevail over any of the acts as stated in the clause.

              AGREEMENT TO PREVAIL

              This Agreement prevails over any matter that is provided for in the Family Law Act R.S.O. 1990, Chapter F.3, Divorce Act (Canada), and or any succeeding legislation, and any subsequent domestic contract between one of the parties and another person, where this Agreement makes provision for such matter.

              and also this clause

              RESUMPTION OF COHABITATION

              If at any future time the parties cohabit as husband and wife for a period or periods totaling less than ninety (90) days with reconciliation as the primary purpose of the cohabitation, the provisions contained in this Agreement will not be affected except as provided in this section. If the parties cohabit as husband and wife for a period or periods totaling more than ninety (90) days with reconciliation as the primary purpose of
              the cohabitation, the provisions contained in this Agreement will become void, except that nothing in this section will affect or invalidate any payment, conveyance or act made or done pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

              The 90 day limit can be changed to whatever the parties agree to. If they wanted 300 days, it would still be legal as long as the agreement was done up properly and each had independant legal advice.
