Frequently Asked Questions

We help with all major family law issues, including:

  • Separation and divorce
  • Parenting time, custody, and decision-making
  • Child support and spousal support
  • Property division, including homes, pensions, and business assets
  • Common-law relationship breakdowns
  • High-conflict situations involving coercive control or safety concerns
  • Family matters with criminal overlap
  • Cohabitation, prenuptial, and postnuptial agreements

You receive support that adapts to your unique situation, whether your case is urgent, complex, or cooperative.

You don’t always need to go to court. Many legal family matters can be resolved through:

  • Negotiation between lawyers
  • Mediation
  • Arbitration
  • Parenting coordination
  • Collaborative processes

These options can reduce stress, cost, and conflict. A court hearing is necessary only when safety is an issue, when the other party won’t cooperate, or when you need immediate orders for parenting, support, or property.

Every situation is unique. The timeline depends on the issues, the level of conflict, and both parties’ willingness to cooperate. Some matters may be resolved in a few weeks through negotiation. Others, especially those with complex parenting or financial issues, can take months or longer. High-conflict or multi-step matters may move more slowly because they require interim orders, assessments, or court dates, which we can help with.

Your lawyer will give you a realistic timeline once they understand your unique situation.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. Bring what you can and focus on clarity. It helps to gather:

  • Key dates and background information
  • Any court orders, agreements, or police reports
  • Financial details surrounding income, debts, investments,
  • assets or property
  • Your goals and concerns
  • Questions you want answered

Your consultation with us is your chance to understand your options and next steps, and you’ll receive clear, empathetic and tailored guidance.

Simple, uncontested cases may take a few months; however, cases that involve children, property, additional assets, or support issues typically take longer because they require more information and negotiation. If there is high-conflict behaviour, safety concerns, or disputes over parenting, the process may take longer.

The timeline is then shaped by how quickly both parties are willing to share information, whether the court is involved, and the level of agreement between both parties.
