Independent legal advice, also more commonly referred to as ILA, is an important consideration for all parties in any type of legal action. It is legal advice that is obtained by a lawyer without any association to the other parties to the legal agreement or the contract under consideration.

ILA is required to demonstrate that parties to the legal action understand the implications of accepting or entering into the contract or agreement. This prevents individuals from being misled by the other party as to the terms of the agreement, or how signing the agreement can impact the individual.

Without ILA, people could possibly enter into an agreement and, at some later date, report that they did not understand the terms of the agreement. They could also report they were forced or coerced into signing the agreement or misinformed as to the terms of the separation agreement or marriage contract. With all parties to an agreement required to obtain an ILA, these issues can be eliminated for the most part, ensuring that the agreement will be binding and can be relied on throughout the specified term.
