Advice for the decisions ahead
What do you need help with?
You do not need to have every answer before contacting us. Start with the issue you are facing and any date that cannot wait.
Divorce & separation
Understand your options, respond to court documents and plan the next steps toward resolving your separation.
Parenting arrangements
Work through parenting time, decision-making and disagreements about your children, with attention to their needs and safety.
Child & spousal support
Get advice about financial disclosure, support obligations and changes in income or family circumstances.
Property & debt
Identify the assets, debts and records that matter, including questions about the family home, businesses and excluded property.
Separation agreements
Negotiate or review an agreement before signing, including independent legal advice about its terms and practical consequences.
Negotiation & court proceedings
Consider a negotiated resolution and prepare for court where an agreement is not possible or urgent relief is needed.
Before you contact us
A clearer first step.
What should I prepare for the first conversation?
Start with the separation date, current parenting arrangements and any approaching deadline. Let us know if you have an agreement or court documents. The office will explain what to send after checking whether we can assist; please do not send confidential documents through the initial form.
Do I need to know whether I want to go to court?
No. A consultation can help you understand your options before choosing a process. We can discuss negotiation, an agreement and court proceedings in light of your circumstances.
Can you review a separation agreement before I sign?
Yes. Tell us whether you have a draft, whether the other party has a lawyer and whether a signing deadline has been proposed. We will confirm availability, scope and fees before accepting the work.
What does a consultation cost?
Consultation fees depend on the lawyer and appointment selected. Check the booking details in Clio, or ask the office to confirm the fee before booking. Sending an inquiry does not commit you to a paid consultation.
Can I meet remotely?
Ask about a telephone or video appointment, or meet at our Sinclair Centre office near Waterfront Station. We will confirm the format and the lawyer's availability when arranging your appointment.
What if I have an urgent deadline?
Call the office and identify the date when you first contact us. Do not assume a form submission or voicemail means we have accepted your matter or will meet the deadline. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
Choose a time, or ask the office to contact you.
Use Clio to view consultation appointments and booking details. If you would prefer to speak with the office first, send a consultation request using the form above.
Does this sound familiar?
You do not need to resolve everything at once. Start with the issue that needs attention—an agreement, arrangements for your children, property, support or a court deadline—and we can help identify the next step.
