General information

Unfortunately personal relationships don't always work out. When they break down, emotions can run high and things become acrimonious; children can be impacted; your financial future may seem at risk. The stakes are high. You need a calm head, someone who understands the law, a legal professional who can negotiate a fair resolution, but can engage in and firmly prosecute in family court proceedings if this becomes a necessary last resort. Experience is crucial in managing the emotions, identifying the issues, addressing the frequent crises, and steering a course to final completion.

On separation, important legal issues may include:

- parenting rights, including who will make decisions related to the children - this includes decisions related to their health care, education, religion and cultural practices, and extracurricular activities [- formerly know as rights or incidents of custody]
- parenting schedules , setting out where (with which parent) the children will reside on school days, weekends, summers, Christmases, March breaks, Easter Holidays, and other holidays [- formerly known as custody and access schedules]
- the relocation of parents outside of their current municipality
- contact with other family members, such as grandparents and step-parents
- if a child has special needs, whether involvement of other agencies will be required
- child support (the Table amount under the Child Support Guidelines)
- children's expenses (section 7 special and extraordinary expenses)
- spousal support
- medical, dental, and other benefits
- life insurance
- determining the income of a self-employed spouse, for support purposes
- the ownership of pets
- the division of assets like the family home, businesses, vehicles, vacation properties, investments, and retirement assets such as pensions, RRSPs, and TFSAs
- the valuation of unique assets such as pensions and businesses, and how these assets are considered in dividing the property of spouses
- the identification of debt, particularly joint debt obligations between spouses, and how the payment and discharge of these debts will be accomplished
- equalization payments - division of property between married spouses
- unjust enrichment, trust, and other property claims which may exist between common-law (unmarried) spouses

The resolution of these issues can shape your life for years to come. It is important to have experienced legal counsel, knowledgeable of Ontario's family laws.
