Separation And Divorce

For spouses considering separation or divorce, Sutton Lawyers explains the issues that need to be addressed, including parenting, support, and property. We help organize information, communicate with the other side, and work toward informed decisions about the next legal steps.

Parenting Plans

Parents dealing with parenting time, decision-making, or a change in a child's routine can seek focused advice. Sutton Lawyers helps assess relevant circumstances, develop proposed arrangements, and address disagreements through negotiation or court-related steps when needed.

Child Support

Child support questions can arise after separation, a parenting change, or a shift in income. Sutton Lawyers reviews the information needed under child support guidelines, explains the issues involved, and helps address support discussions or formal legal processes.

Spousal Support

People who need to discuss spousal support can receive advice based on their family circumstances, financial information, and separation arrangements. Sutton Lawyers helps identify the records and questions that matter, then assists with negotiation, agreements, or court-related proceedings where appropriate.

Property Division

Property questions may involve the family home, savings, debts, or assets accumulated during a relationship. Sutton Lawyers helps clients gather financial disclosure, understand the issues under Ontario family law, and pursue a structured resolution process based on complete information.

Protection Orders

When there are concerns about safety, harassment, or contact between family members, prompt legal advice can be important. Sutton Lawyers can assess the circumstances, explain available restraining or protection order options, and help determine appropriate steps for the situation.

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.
