Separation Agreements

If you are separating, a family lawyer in Newmarket can review the facts, identify issues for an agreement, and explain negotiation or court options. The work aims to create an informed plan for parenting, support, and property questions.

Parenting Time

Parents who need a workable schedule can get advice on parenting time, exchanges, holidays, and communication. We help identify the child's needs, prepare proposals, and address disputes through appropriate legal steps, with a focus on stability and informed decisions.

Decision-Making Responsibility

When parents disagree about major choices, we explain decision-making responsibility and the information a court or negotiating process may consider. We help you assess concerns, prepare materials, and pursue a process suited to the family's circumstances.

Child And Spousal Support

Support questions can affect daily budgeting after separation. We review relevant income information, explain how child support guidelines may apply, and address spousal support issues through negotiation or court processes, helping you understand the financial questions that need resolution.

Property Division

If a home, savings, debts, or other assets are involved, we help identify the information needed to assess property division. We explain the process, review documents, and help you make informed choices about financial issues arising from separation.

Protection Orders
