Hello,
My spouse and I have been living together in the same house (which is in both of our names) for the past 3 years. We are in New Brunswick. We previously lived in an apartment for 3.5 years. We have decided to separate and I am wondering a few things.
We want to handle the separation as smoothly as we can. We have come to a verbal agreement for me to buy her out of the house and to split of the furniture. Is there a way to do this legally without having to get lawyers involved? I am afraid once the lawyers get involved it will get ugly and be worse for both of us both financially and emotionally.
Also my understanding is that in regards to say personal savings and RRSP's, what is mine is mine and what is hers is hers? We both work full-time jobs and make roughly about the same salary.
Any help anyone can provide in this would be greatly appeciated.
Thanks,
Ant
