The Introduction Separation/Divorce

When you get married, the law in Ontario treats your marriage as an economic partnership. If your marriage ends, the value of property owned at the date of marriage, any increase in property brought into the marriage, and property at the date of separation will be accounted for. There are exceptions, so it is important to speak with an experienced Toronto family lawyer to understand your rights and obligations.

Ontario family law also provides that both spouses have an equal right to remain in the family home. If you separate, you will need to decide who will continue to live there. In addition, you may be entitled to financial support for yourself and your children, including child support and spousal support.

Couples who feel that standard family law does not reflect the nature of their relationship can create a marriage contract or cohabitation agreement. These agreements are important legal documents that can clarify property division, spousal support, and other financial arrangements. It is essential to work with a Toronto family lawyer and exchange complete financial information before signing a marriage contract or cohabitation agreement.
