Separation and divorce can involve much more than ending a relationship. Issues involving children, support, property, the matrimonial home and financial responsibilities may need to be resolved.

Our family lawyers can help you understand the legal issues arising from your separation and work with you toward an appropriate settlement or, where necessary, representation in court.

Child support and spousal support can have significant financial consequences for both parties.

Oza Law provides legal advice regarding child support and spousal support in Ontario, including issues relating to entitlement, calculation, variation, enforcement and settlement.

When parents separate, arrangements concerning their children are often among the most important issues to resolve.

We assist parents with:

• Decision-making responsibility
• Parenting time
• Parenting schedules
• Relocation issues
• Disputes concerning children
• Parenting agreements
• Court applications involving parenting issues

The best interests of the child are an important consideration in resolving parenting matters.

Separation can create complicated questions about the division of property, debts and financial interests.

We provide advice concerning property division and equalization under Ontario family law, including issues involving the matrimonial home and other family assets.

A properly prepared family law agreement can provide clarity and reduce the potential for future disputes.

Oza Law assists with preparing, reviewing and negotiating:

• Separation agreements
• Cohabitation agreements
• Marriage contracts
• Parenting agreements
• Support arrangements
• Property division arrangements

We also provide independent legal advice where appropriate before an agreement is signed.

Not every family law dispute needs to go to court. Where possible, we focus on negotiation and settlement to help clients resolve matters efficiently and proportionately.

When an agreement cannot be reached, Oza Law can assist with Ontario family court proceedings and litigation.

Our approach is to identify the important legal issues, understand the client's objectives and develop a practical strategy for resolving the matter.
