Family Law

Going through a separation or divorce?

We can provide you with independent legal advice on property division, child custody, and support issues.

 

Here’s how we can help you:

We represent clients in court or in private negotiation and mediation. We can help you whether you are just thinking about separating or are in the middle of the proceedings. At times we’ve been retained to repair the damage done by previous lawyers or those who have represented themselves.

 

Don’t want to go to court? 

Pei-Shing is also qualified in collaborative family law practice. Both spouses sign a contract not to go to court and agree to resolve their issues privately with the assistance of lawyers. Collaborative law isn’t for everyone, so please call to inquire.

 

The first meeting:

Your first meeting with the lawyer is 90 minutes long and costs $339 (tax included). You will explain your situation and the lawyer will give you an overview of your options. You will also get a memo to take home for your records. There is no obligation to retain our firm during the first meeting, although most of our clients do.

 

Preparing for the first meeting:

To make the meeting more efficient, please bring a list of assets and liabilities for both spouses. Tax returns from the previous year may also speed up [MT4] the meeting, saving you time and money.

 

Getting married in Ontario but divorced elsewhere? 

We can provide you with an opinion letter on whether your divorce should be recognized in Ontario, thus allowing you to apply for a marriage licence.
