Can a private separation agreement be challenged?
– moneysense.ca
Q. A private separation agreement has been signed and witnessed. Can the financial that have been divided be changed if someone wants more money afterward? Or is the private separation agreement final? – Ken B.
I am not sure what you mean by a “private” separation agreement. I would never recommend writing up your own separation agreement. Even if it signed by both parties and witnessed, it is not considered a valid document in the eye of the courts, and therefore it can be overturned.
A properly executed separation agreement has several factors.

This would ensure complete transparency and understanding by both parties of all the financial issues.
After you and your ex have satisfied yourself that you are happy with the agreement, in order to have a fully executed document that would hold up against scrutiny in court, you must each seek independent legal advice…
