Divorce and Legal Separation

Whether you are married or in a civil union, there are several options: de facto separation, legal separation, divorce, or dissolution of the union. Our experienced lawyers handle both contested and uncontested divorce cases. For couples wishing to end their marriage without complications, we offer a fully online amicable divorce application.

Every case is different. That’s why our legal team is here to help you understand your options and choose the best legal path for your situation.

Divorce can be emotionally challenging. Our team uses its experience to provide effective representation and achieve a fair settlement.

Property Division

Under Quebec law, family assets must be divided fairly. If your rights are not being respected, we step in to protect your interests.

Spousal Support

Financial support after separation: If one spouse was financially dependent, spousal support may be requested. We assess your situation and guide you through the necessary steps.

Prenuptial and Separation Agreements

We help couples prepare prenuptial agreements, cohabitation contracts, and separation agreements to protect their rights and simplify the legal process later. These agreements define how assets, responsibilities, and support will be handled in case of separation.

Marriage contracts and prenuptial agreements:

We help you establish a clear legal framework for managing assets and obligations in the event of separation.

Cohabitation agreements:

Our lawyers assist common-law partners in protecting their patrimonial and personal rights.

Specific Family Law Issues

Family disputes can become more complex when emotions run high or when one parent acts against the agreed custody terms. In such sensitive cases, having legal guidance is essential to protect your rights and your child's well-being.

Parental abduction:

We intervene in cases of unlawful relocation of a child in violation of custody rights.

Parental alienation:

If you are a victim of false accusations meant to distance you from your child, we help you assert your rights in court.

We also represent you in disputes relating to parental authority or the relocation of children.

Child Custody and Child Support

Child-related issues require care and legal precision.

Child custody:

We assist you in establishing a custody agreement that respects the child’s best interests and your parental rights. 
We set up shared or sole custody arrangements in the best interests of the child.

Child support:

In cases of non-payment or disputes, we defend your rights to ensure the financial care of your children.
