Your Experienced Family Lawyer in Ajax

• Contested & Uncontested Divorce
  Our family lawyer in Ajax handles both contested divorces that require court intervention and uncontested divorces that proceed by agreement. Our goal is to help clients reach a fair and timely outcome.
   

• Paternity
  We assist with the legal recognition of a child's biological father. Establishing paternity can affect custody (decision-making responsibility), access (parenting time), and support rights.
   

• Possession of the Matrimonial Home
  We provide legal guidance on who can stay in the family home during and after separation. Decisions are based on family law, not property ownership.
   

• Prenuptial Agreement
  We draft and review agreements that define property and financial arrangements before marriage. These agreements help reduce future disputes.
   

• Retroactive Child Support
  We represent clients seeking or disputing support payments for past periods. Courts may award retroactive support when it is fair and reasonable.
   

• Property Division
  We assist in dividing family property and debts according to provincial laws. Our aim is a fair and transparent resolution for both parties.
   

• Spousal Support
  We help clients understand entitlement and negotiate or litigate support. Factors include income, length of relationship, and financial need.
   

• Custody – Decision-Making Responsibility
  We help determine parenting arrangements that are in the best interest of the child, including custody and visitation schedules.
   

• Representation
  We represent clients in negotiations, mediation, and court. Our legal support covers all aspects of family law matters.
   

• Common Law Relationships
  We advise clients in non-marital relationships on their legal rights and responsibilities. Property and support laws may still apply.
   

• Consultation
  We provide straightforward legal advice during private consultations. This helps clients understand their rights before making decisions.
   

• Restraining Orders
  We assist with court applications for protection against abuse or harassment. Restraining orders offer safety and legal protection.
   

• Guardianship
  We help individuals obtain legal authority to care for a child. Guardianship involves both personal and property responsibilities.
   

• Division and Equalization of Family Property
  We guide clients through the process of equalizing property after separation. This includes calculating net family property values.
   

• ADR — Alternative Dispute Resolution
  We support out-of-court solutions through mediation and arbitration. ADR often saves time and reduces conflict.
   

• Support Variations
  We help clients request changes to child or spousal support orders. Modifications require a material change in circumstances.
   

• Protection Order
  We help clients apply for court orders to protect their safety. These orders may involve removing a person from a shared home.
   

• Child Support
  We calculate and enforce child support under federal and provincial guidelines. Key factors are the children's needs and parental income.
   

• Custody & Access – Parenting Time
  We work toward agreements that support a child's best interests. Parenting plans include both decision-making and time-sharing.
   

• Interpreting Rights
  We explain legal documents and court orders to ensure clients understand their rights and duties. Clarity is essential in family law.
   

• Trials
  When settlement is not possible, our family lawyers in Ajax represent clients at trial. We prepare and present evidence to support your case in court.
