Our Divorce & Family Law Services

Divorce and Separation

Our family lawyers offer advice and representation in all areas of divorce and separation. Whether you are initiating a Statement of Claim, responding to a claim, negotiating a settlement, or proceeding to litigation, we guide you through each step with clarity and confidence.

Common Law Relationships

Many people assume that living together automatically grants the same legal rights and obligations as marriage—but this is not always the case. Our family lawyers will explain the legal framework surrounding common law relationships and help you understand your rights, responsibilities, and options.

Property Division

Whether your matter involves straightforward property division or more complex issues such as business interests, farms, or corporations, our family lawyers provide clear, informed guidance tailored to your specific circumstances.

Spousal Support

Spousal support is partially discretionary, which can make it complex and difficult to navigate without legal guidance. Our family lawyers provide clear advice and effective representation whether you are seeking spousal support or responding to a claim.

Parenting (Custody/Access)

Our family lawyers have experience advising and representing clients in a wide range of parenting matters. Whether your case is low-conflict and requires assistance only with  documentation, or involves high-conflict litigation, we are here to guide you through the process. Our goal is to minimize the impact on your children while advocating for your interests.

Child Support

Child support is the legal right of the child. Whether you are receiving or paying support, our family lawyers can help determine the appropriate amount in accordance with the law and assist in calculating any arrears, if applicable. We are prepared to litigate when necessary to ensure your rights—and your child’s interests—are protected.

Family Agreements

Family agreements—such as cohabitation agreements, pre-nuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, and separation agreements—allow parties to resolve most family law issues by consent. Our family lawyers can advise you on an agreement, draft one on your behalf, and provide independent legal advice.

Restraining & Protection Orders

Our family lawyers provide advice and representation in matters involving Restraining Orders, Emergency Protection Orders, King’s Bench Protection Orders, and Exclusive Possession Orders.

Divorce and Separation

Our divorce lawyers offer advice and representation in all areas of divorce  and separation. Whether you are initiating a Statement of Claim, responding to a Claim, negotiating a settlement, or proceeding to litigation, we guide you through each step of the way. 

Common Law Relationships

Our family lawyers are available to advise and represent you in your common law separation, including the issues of parenting, child support, property division, and partner support. 

Property Division

Whether your matter involves straightforward property division or  complex issues such as business interests, farms, or corporations, our lawyers provide clear, informed advice and representation tailored to your circumstances.

Spousal Support

Spousal support can be complex and highly discretionary. Without legal guidance, it’s difficult to know what to expect. Our family lawyers provide clear advice and  representation whether you are seeking spousal support or responding to a claim.

Parenting (Custody/Access)

We handle all types of parenting and custody cases. Whether you need help with paperwork for a straightforward agreement or full representation in high-conflict parenting litigation, we are here to guide you. 

Child Support

Whether you’re receiving or paying child support, our family lawyers help determine the right amount based on current guidelines. We also assist with calculating any arrears and income determination, including when businesses, farms, or corporations are involved. 

Family Agreements

Family agreements let you resolve most family law matters by working together instead of going to court. These include pre-nuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, and separation agreements. 

Restraining & Protection Orders

Our family lawyers are available to help you obtain or respond to different types of protection orders. This includes Restraining Orders, Emergency Protection Orders, King’s Bench Protection Orders, and Exclusive Possession Orders.
