Focus. Strategy. Results.
YBC Law‘s comprehensive expertise in family law extends to all legal matters, whether you are beginning a new journey or embarking on a family transition. Our services include all of the following:
Divorce & Separation for Married Couples
Our lawyers can help you with various aspects of your separation or divorce. Your marriage may involve a division of assets, decisions regarding the children’s new schedule, and financial resolution.
Separation for Common Law Couples
Common-law couples separating have many legal concerns, including spousal support, child custody, child support, and access to children. If you wish to proceed with separation, we can help you navigate the legal requirements and secure an agreement with your common-law partner that benefits you and your children.
Divorce
Getting a divorce in Ontario is not mandatory. However, it is required if you wish to re-marry. Our law firm can help you apply for a divorce and explain the grounds for this action, including one-year separation, cruelty, or adultery.
Court Representation
In some family law cases, there is a need for court intervention in order to reach a verdict on matters like division of assets, parenting time, and support. With our team in your corner, you will receive knowledgeable advice while ensuring that your legal needs and interests remain at the forefront.
Variation Agreements
Suppose you and your current or former partner have already negotiated the terms of a Separation Agreement, but circumstances have changed, and an amendment is necessary. In that case, our team can assist you with the negotiation and implementation of a Variation/Amending Agreement.
Cohabitation & Marriage Contracts
A Cohabitation Agreement is an agreement reached between two people making the decision to cohabit, whether it be before marriage or for the foreseeable future. This Agreement protects your assets in the event of a relationship breakdown. A Marriage Contract is an agreement with private or custom-made rules for dividing a couple’s property and dealing with support in the event that the relationship breaks down following a marriage.
