Family law
Family law is about more than what happens with separated families. Planning ahead is also important to many families as they begin. We can help protect your interests by preparing a cohabitation or prenuptial agreement specially tailored to your needs. Taking the right approach for your family is important to make sure the needs of all those involved are met.
In the event of family or relationship breakdown, four main areas of concern must be addressed:
Separation: Do you want a separation? What are the grounds for Divorce? What if you lived together but were not married?
Children: Is a parenting plan in place? Should there be shared custody, or should one parent have primary care? How do you figure out what is best for the children? When is guardianship or adoption necessary?
Income issues: Who is obligated to pay/receive child or spousal support and what factors impact how much and for how long? Do you have legal obligations to step-children?
Division of assets and debts: What happens to the family home? How will pensions, RRSP's and other assets be divided? What happens to debts? What if you own a business together?
Family changes may also require attention to other aspects of your shared and individual lives and well being. We regularly work with a variety of professionals in other disciplines, such as financial advisors, psychologists, counselors, accountants, and appraisers. These specialists often provide significant insight. We are committed to helping you make the best-informed decisions possible regarding life and family challenges and changes.
