In Toronto, when a marriage comes to an end: how to start a new chapter professionally and gracefully.
The ship of marriage sometimes sails into fog, and when “we” have to become “I” and “you” again, divorce becomes an unavoidable reality. In Toronto, this decision not only signifies a huge emotional upheaval but also initiates a complex and rigorous legal journey.
You may be troubled by countless questions:
- What are the divorce laws in Ontario? How long do I need to be separated before I can file for divorce?
- How should our real estate, savings, and investments be divided fairly?
- How should child custody and visitation rights be arranged to best protect them?
- Am I entitled to receive or required to pay spousal support and child support?
- How long will the whole process take? How should I handle potential disputes?
At this crossroads in life, confusion, anxiety, and unease are natural. But please remember, you don’t have to face it all alone.

Our goal is not only to secure your maximum legal rights, but also to safeguard your and your family’s smooth transition and help you begin a new chapter in your life with professionalism, rationality, and humanistic care.
Divorce is more than just signing a document.
In Ontario, divorce is a formal legal process for dissolving a marriage, but it is often intertwined with a range of more complex family law issues, including:
- Division of Property: The law stipulates that the net worth of a family accumulated during marriage must be divided fairly. This involves the accurate assessment and calculation of all assets and liabilities, including homes, vehicles, bank accounts, RRSPs, pensions, and company shares.
- Child custody and decision-making responsibility: This involves deciding which parent the child will live with and how to make decisions on major issues such as education and healthcare. The sole legal principle is “the best interests of the child.”
- Visitation rights (Parenting Time/Access): Ensure that non-cohabiting parents maintain stable and meaningful connections with their children.
- Child support: Calculated according to federal guidelines, used to ensure the child’s standard of living.
- Spousal support: In certain circumstances, the spouse with the better financial situation is required to provide financial support to the other spouse to help them through the transition period.
These issues are interconnected, and mishandling any one of them could lead to long-term economic losses and emotional entanglements.
