Spousal support is money paid by one spouse to the other after a separation or divorce. Here's how it works in Ontario in simple terms.

Divorce and Separation
Guiding you through divorce and separation with clarity and compassion, protecting your rights, and helping you move forward with confidence is our goal during this major transition in your life.
Spousal Support and Child Support
We can help you secure fair spousal and child support. Whether you’re seeking payments or defending against them, so you can protect your financial future and your children’s well-being.
Decision Making and Parenting Time
We help you resolve decision making responsibility (custody) and parenting time (access) issues, putting your children’s best interests first while protecting your role and rights as a parent.
Property/Asset Division
We can help you navigate property and asset division, with the aim of obtaining a fair, legal, and thorough separation of finances so you can move forward with confidence and financial security.

We draft and review marriage contracts (i.e. “prenups”) to protect your rights and clarify financial expectations, giving you peace of mind before marriage or in an existing relationship. We also draft and review cohabitation agreements.
