The final issue in this separation is being resolved through Minutes of Settlement. We are at the stage where FSCO Form 5 is being completed to transfer the funds.
However, my lawyer has ticked off that the form being attached with the Form 5 is a "domestic contract" (separation agreement), when in fact we are trying to execute Minutes of Settlement.
The other options on Form 5 are the following
a) a Court Order
b) family arbitration award
c) domestic contract (separation agreement)
I have spoke to the OPB and they said that separation agreement should be striked out and Minutes of Settlement put in.
Once Minutes of Settlement are executed don't those Minutes become an Order after a Judge does an endorsement?
If anyone has experience in this area or has already been down this road since this came into effect in January 2012, your advice would be much appreciated.
