Family Law
Burlington Family Law Lawyers
Family Law embodies legal issues arising from marital breakdown,
child custody and access, child and spousal support, divorce and
the division of family property upon separation or divorce.
Family Law also includes negotiation and preparation of
Cohabitation Agreements, Pre-Nuptial Agreements and Marriage
Contracts as well as Children's Aid Society matters.
Different laws apply to common law relationships.
A Family Law lawyer may also provide mediation services to assist
with negotiations and the settlement of issues arising from marital
breakdown.
Our family law lawyers also practice Collaborative
Law. The Collaborative Practice involves the parties
reaching an Agreement without going to court in a setting of open,
honest exchange of information and expression of needs and
expectations.
In the event negotiations break down, our lawyers are also
experienced family law litigators who will guide you through the
formal court process if necessary.
