CHILD SUPORT

Children need financial support from their parents – and they have a legal right to it. When parents separate or divorce, they should try to agree on the amount of child support. If they ask a court to decide, the court will use guidelines to determine child support payments. Some child support guidelines fall under federal law, while others are under provincial or territorial law. Amounts can depend on the income of each party as well as the number of children and how much time they spend with each parent. The court will also consider special circumstances and may deviate from the written guidelines.

If you have a special situation, our lawyer can work on your behalf to influence changes within the written child support guidelines.

CHILD CUSTODY AND PARENTING

Basically, until there is a written agreement or court order in place, both parents have equal custody rights.

When deciding how to care for your children during and after a separation or divorce, there are a lot of things to think about. The most important thing to consider is, “What is best for the child”. Under the law, no preference is given to either parent – decisions are guided by the best interests of the child. We can present your case before the court that you as our client can provide the best possible care of your child.

DIVISION OF PROPERTY

When a marriage ends, the equal contribution of each person to the marriage is recognized. The law provides that the value of any kind of property that was acquired by a spouse during the marriage and still exists at separation must be divided equally between the spouses.

In contested divorces, division of property can be a much lengthier and more complex process, unless agreed by both spouses. In either case, it is good to have knowledgeable experts, like our family law lawyers, on your side making sure your best interests are being looked after.

SPOUSAL SUPPORT

Spousal support, also referred to as alimony or maintenance, is the legal obligation for one person to provide an ex-spouse financial support after a marital breakdown or separation. Many factors and calculations affect the amount, or whether or not an ex-spouse is even entitled to spousal support payments after a separation or divorce. Spousal support isn’t automatic for either party during divorce proceedings.

There are various factors that our lawyers will look at to determine whether a spousal support candidate is entitled to spousal support. Our Lawyers expertise can help guide you, simplifying the process and ensuring that you take the steps that will best serve your interests.
