Separation and Divorce

Separation is one of the biggest changes a person goes through, and it touches everything: your home, your money, your children, your future. Whether this is amicable or difficult, you deserve clear advice and a lawyer who helps you move forward without making it harder than it needs to be.

A separation is rarely just paperwork. It is untangling a shared life, and doing it while you're tired and stretched thin. Our job is to take the legal weight off your shoulders, explain things in plain language, and help you make good decisions for the life that comes next.

What we help with

• Separation agreements that are clear, fair, and built to last
• Dividing property, debts, and assets
• Spousal and partner support
• Parenting and child support
• Divorce, once you're ready for that step

You might want us to handle everything, or just to draft your agreement while you do the rest. You choose how much help you need, and you only pay for what you use. See how limited scope works.

Parenting Arrangements

When a family changes, nothing matters more than the children. We help you sort out parenting arrangements that work in real life, protect your relationship with your kids, and give them the stability they need.

Few things are harder than worrying about your children through a separation. You want to do right by them, and you want to know they are safe and cared for. We help you focus on what matters most to them, and we stand up for arrangements that are in their best interests.

What we help with

• Parenting plans and schedules that fit your family
• Decision-making responsibility and parenting time
• Child support calculations
• Parenting arrangements where there are safety concerns or a history of abuse
• Changes to existing arrangements when life changes

If there has been abuse or you are worried about your children's safety, that belongs at the centre of any parenting decision, not pushed aside. Read about how we handle family violence.

Marriage and Cohabitation Agreements

A marriage or cohabitation agreement is not about expecting the worst. It is about being clear and fair with each other now, so you can build your future without unspoken worries hanging over it. It is one of the kindest, most practical things two people can do for each other.

Talking about money and property before or early in a relationship can feel awkward, but doing it well brings couples closer, not apart. Whether you're getting married or moving in together, whether you're protecting a business, a home, or children from a previous relationship, we help you put something fair and lasting in place.

What we help with

• Prenuptial and marriage agreements
• Cohabitation agreements for common-law partners
• Protecting property, businesses, or inheritances
• Clear arrangements that both partners understand and agree to
• Independent legal advice, so your agreement holds up

An agreement is only as good as the care that goes into it. We make sure yours is fair, fully understood by both of you, and built to stand up if it's ever needed.
