Marriage contracts, including prenuptial agreements and post-nuptual agreements , are essential for safeguarding your assets and clarifying financial obligations, particularly in blended family situations. Our experienced family law team provides tailored legal advice to ensure your marriage contract aligns with your goals and protects your interests, whether created before or after marriage.

Separation agreements are critical for addressing various family law matters without court intervention. These agreements cover:

• Child Custody: Separation Agreements clearly set out the Parenting Plan and decision-making responsibilities regarding children. Children may spend approximately equal time with each parent or they can reside primarily with one parent and spend time with the other parent alternating weekends and one or two overnights or evenings each week.
  Our divorce lawyers can advise you and craft a Separation Agreement that meets the unique needs of your family and children perfectly.
• Child Support: Separation Agreements include the minimum financial support parents are legally obligated to provide for their children’s care. Our experienced divorce lawyers offer accurate guidance on child support calculations, ensuring compliance with Canada’s Federal Child Support Guidelines. We also represent clients in court for child support matters and provide unbundled services, such as assisting with court document preparation and offering coaching for court or mediation.

It involves determining how assets such as real estate, pensions, investments, vehicles, and personal belongings will be allocated. If marital debts exist, we assist in arranging how they will be managed and by whom. While common-law spouses don’t have the same property rights as married spouses, there are specific legal provisions that apply, and we are here to guide you through them.
