No one wants family relationships to break down, but if they do, it can be a time of incredible emotional pain, financial impact and costly for your entire family. Getting effective help to deal with the related legal issues is a priority for you.

Negotiating agreements to end a marriage, divide property, and/or provide for appropriate access to children can be a long and difficult process. You will want to consult a lawyer to advise you on your options and the best approach for your situation.

Beware of the "Do-It-Yourself" Divorce process! Even an uncontested or basic divorce can contain complex legal issues that may not be obvious to you until long after the documents are signed. An experienced professional should review your affairs with you and draft documents that will properly address your needs for now and the future.

We can match you with the Best Lawyer for all types of Family Law issues:

• • Divorce: There are usually three grounds for divorce; separation for an extended period, adultery, and cruelty or domestic abuse. Filing for divorce involves a set process and paperwork filed with the court. Other rules may apply depending on where you live.
  • Matrimonial Property Division: Every province has different rules regarding the fair division of property between spouses when they separate or divorce. These rules might also apply to property bought by either spouse before, during, or after the marriage.
  • Separation Agreements: On marriage breakdown, the most immediate priority is to possibly negotiate an interim agreement that covers various issues between spouses, until a final property division and/or parenting arrangements have been determined.
  • Cohabitation or Prenuptial Agreements: Negotiated before living together or marriage to provide peace-of-mind for both spouses in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
  • Child Custody & Guardianship: In addition to physical care of children, Custody can refer to the right to make major decisions about a child's health, education, welfare, and religion. Applications can also be made for guardianship.
  • Access & Parenting Time: Where parents, including extended family, cannot agree between themselves on reasonable access, or where the child spends his or her time, a court may order specific access arrangements, including conditions, supervision, or even complete denial. Decisions will depend on the facts of the case and the best interests of the child.
  • Mediation and/or Arbitration: Divorce, property division, and custody don't always have to be battled out in court. Many other options exist to negotiate fair agreements for all parties.
  • ...and all other legal issues relating to Family Law.
