DIVORCE

Guiding You Through Divorce in Ontario

​

Embarking on the path of divorce can be emotionally and legally overwhelming. At TMB Law, we understand the challenges you may face and are committed to supporting you every step of the way. Our team offers a judgment-free environment where you can navigate your divorce with clarity and confidence.

​

A Personalized and Collaborative Legal Approach

​

Divorce is more than a legal process—it's a life transition. That’s why we work closely with you to develop practical, customized strategies for every aspect of your separation. We provide guidance on:

• Decision-Making Responsibility (formerly “custody”)

• Parenting Time (formerly “access”)

• Division of Property

• Spousal Support

Our holistic approach prioritizes your long-term well-being while helping you make informed, forward-thinking decisions.

 

Focused on Resolution, Not Conflict

​

At TMB Law, we believe in a negotiation-first philosophy. Our aim is to reduce stress, limit disruption, and avoid the high emotional and financial costs of litigation whenever possible. We help clients reach fair and sustainable agreements while preserving family relationships wherever appropriate.

 

Understanding Divorce Requirements in Canada

​

In Canada, a one-year separation is typically required before filing for divorce, though exceptions exist in cases involving cruelty or adultery. Either spouse may initiate the divorce application, but courts are often reluctant to finalize the divorce unless key issues—such as parenting arrangements, child support, and spousal support—have been resolved.

To facilitate a smoother process, we recommend formalizing these terms through a comprehensive separation agreement, which can significantly increase the likelihood of an uncontested divorce.

 

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce in Ontario

​

• Uncontested Divorce: Both spouses agree on all terms and the divorce proceeds efficiently through the courts.

• Contested Divorce: Disagreements exist on one or more issues, requiring additional negotiation or, in some cases, litigation.

TMB Law is equipped to handle both contested and uncontested divorces, tailoring our services to the specific needs and dynamics of your case.

 

Every Family Law Matter Is Unique

​

Family law in Ontario is highly individualized. No two cases are the same, and applying the law effectively requires a deep understanding of your specific circumstances. Whether you are at the beginning stages of separation or dealing with complex post-divorce issues, we are here to help you find a clear path forward.
