What Is a Family Law Lawyer?

Family lawyers are lawyers who practice in a particular branch of law that affects families. Family law includes marriage and divorce, separation, parenting, and division of family property.

Family law in Clarington is governed by both federal and provincial legislation, including the Divorce Act (Canada) and the Family Law Act (Ontario). Both of these statutes address legal issues that married and unmarried couples may face when a relationship ends. Legal matters can include parenting time, decision-making responsibility, child support, spousal support, and division of family property.

At GTA Divorce Lawyers, we work to protect your rights at every stage by:

  • Divorce and separation client representation
  • Separation and parenting agreement preparation and negotiation
  • Child and spousal support legal advice
  • Property and asset equalization
  • Family law court and tribunal representation for Clarington clients

We do this work with a legal eye and a people-centred heart.

FAQs

To file for divorce in Clarington, you typically need: A valid marriage certificate, Proof of at least one year of separation (unless you have grounds of adultery or cruelty), and completed divorce forms (petition), which you must file through the court system in Durham Region. It's recommended that you consult a lawyer to ensure your paperwork is correct and complete.

Your rights in a divorce can include parenting arrangements, decision-making responsibilities, child support, spousal support, and property equalization. The specific rights may vary depending on circumstances, income, and family situation, and are governed by Ontario family law.

Spousal support is based on factors such as the length of the relationship, roles, income differences, and financial need. The court considers the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines, which provide a range, but actual awards can vary and may be negotiated or ordered by the court.

The entire process for an uncontested divorce usually takes about 4–6 months from the date it is filed. The timeline can vary depending on processing time and if parenting or other support issues must be resolved first.

You do not have to hire a lawyer, but many people choose to because divorce involves legal rights related to property, parenting, and finances. A lawyer can help protect your interests and ensure documents are prepared and filed correctly.
