Family Law Focused
Dedicated to family law litigation and separation agreements. Litigation may be necessary if the alternative means that you don’t have any chance of getting what you’re entitled to.
Family Law
Separation Agreements
When people are contemplating divorce, the goal is to negotiate a mutually-acceptable separation agreement between spouses which addresses outstanding issues.
Uncontested Divorce
Divorce is usually the final step in the separation process. It happens after the separation agreement is negotiated and signed, or after a final order.
Property Division
When married people separate, both spouses are entitled to an equalization of the net family property. Marriage is considered a financial partnership.
Litigation
Litigation is expensive, contentious and highly emotional. Litigation may be necessary if the alternative means that you don’t have any chance of getting what you’re entitled to.
Child Support
Parents in Ontario have an obligation to financially support their children. The amount payable is determined in accordance with the federal Child Support Guidelines.
Spousal Support
Spousal support, also known by the American term ‘alimony’, refers to ongoing maintenance given to a spouse which is either for an indefinite, or fixed, term.
Unbundled Services
With the cost of legal services- particularly litigation- being so high, it’s not always possible to be able to afford full representation from a lawyer throughout your case.
Child Custody
When people separate, it can be difficult to negotiate a workable custody and access schedule, particularly if both parties are not planning on residing in the same city.
