There are THREE areas that require resolution in a contested family law matter

[ ONE ]

parenting time and decision making

This refers to when you and your former spouse care for your children and how you make major decisions regarding their general welfare, health and education.

[ TWO ]

child and spousal support

Each family has different financial circumstances that may require one spouse to pay child and/or spousal support to the other.

[ THREE ]

EQUALIZATION OF NET FAMILY PROPERTY

This is commonly referred to as a division of the assets that have accumulated during your relationship. There are different rules if you are married as opposed to living common law.  

[ YES, COURT CAN BE STRESSFUL ]

Some families have to resolve each of these three areas, some families may only need to resolve one or two of these areas.  Each family is unique and their circumstances are particular to their situation.  Amanda will help you wade through these issues to put forward your position to the Court.
