Separation Agreements

Divorce Guidance
For people considering or responding to a divorce, we explain the issues that may need to be addressed alongside the divorce process. We organize the relevant information, advise on available paths, and prepare you for the next legal step.
Parenting Arrangements
For parents working through where children will live and how decisions will be made, we help identify the facts that matter. We assist with parenting time and decision-making proposals, negotiations, and court preparation where needed.
Child And Spousal Support
For someone seeking, paying, or reviewing support, we assess the available financial information and disclosure needs. We explain how child support guidelines and spousal support considerations may apply, then help advance an informed position.
Property Division
For spouses with a home, savings, pensions, debts, or other assets to address, we review the information needed for property discussions. We help clarify the issues, request appropriate disclosure, and prepare for negotiation or court steps.
Protection Orders
For people facing threats, coercion, or violence, immediate safety comes first. We assess available family-law options, including protection orders where appropriate, explain the court process, and help prepare materials needed to seek protective legal steps.

Benefits of Working With Us
Know What Needs Attention
You get a focused first review of the facts, documents, and immediate concerns, so you can tell which questions need legal attention before making a decision or replying.
Keep Children Central
Parenting advice considers your child's routine, school, care needs, and each parent's role. This helps frame discussions around workable parenting time and decision-making arrangements.
Understand Support Questions
Support questions are reviewed alongside income information, disclosure, and changing circumstances. You learn what information may matter before agreeing to payments or responding to a request.
Review Property Carefully
Property conversations begin with a careful review of assets, debts, and records. That preparation helps identify questions needing legal advice before property is divided or a document is signed.
Address Urgent Concerns
Where safety or an urgent parenting issue is present, tell us when you reach out. We can assess the concern promptly and explain available legal steps.
Advice That Fits Your Family
Across Scarborough's diverse communities, family arrangements can look different. Advice begins with the facts of your household, culture, schedule, and concerns, rather than assumptions.

Cassandra Hyler
5/5
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. He even went to court to represent me that day so I wouldn’t miss work and stayed there until he heard direct from the judges mouth that my name was cleared.
Mr Alex is a very experienced, competent and knowledgeable lawyer. I highly recommend him for any immigration issue. He initiated a mandamus for the delay of my application for Permanent Residency and I received my PPR within a week after starting the process. Thank you so much for everything.
