Whether you’re navigating immigration law, resolving family disputes, or managing business matters, Sutton Law is here to ensure your legal journey is smooth, efficient, and stress-free.

Separation Agreements

For people who are separating, we identify the parenting, support, property, and communication issues an agreement may need to address. A family lawyer in Ajax can review proposals, draft terms, and explain their practical effect before you decide how to proceed.

Divorce Guidance

For married people seeking a divorce, we explain the steps, required information, and related claims involving children or finances. We prepare appropriate materials and keep the process connected to the wider family issues that may need resolution.

Parenting Arrangements

Parents facing disagreements about schedules, decision-making, travel, or communication need advice that reflects the child's circumstances. We help organize relevant facts, develop proposals, and address parenting time or decision-making issues through the appropriate process.

Child And Spousal Support

Child and spousal support questions can depend on income, parenting arrangements, and the family's circumstances. We review the available financial information, explain the child support guidelines, and help address support issues through negotiation or court processes.

Property Division

Property division can involve a home, savings, pensions, debts, and records that are not always easy to locate. We help identify the issues, review available documents, and explain the process for addressing property concerns after separation.

Protection Orders

Where safety, harassment, or threats are concerns, early legal advice can matter. We assess whether a protection order or other court step may be appropriate and explain the information the court may require. If safety is immediate, seek emergency help first.

My lawyer at Sutton Law was a complete godsend throughout the entire process of my LTB difficulties. He was able to collaborate with the other teams representation while ensuring my best interests were always top priority. He walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer questions and help me through the problem.
