Family and Divorce Lawyer Barrie

Getting a divorce or legal separation represents a change in the lives of everyone involved, but it doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. If you are considering divorce or separation from your spouse, having an experienced family lawyer in your corner will help the process go as smoothly as possible.
At Korhani Law, we understand what you’re going through and we will be there every step of the way to answer your questions and provide you with the support and guidance you need.

If you wish to terminate your legal marriage and obtain a divorce in Canada, the application may be brought to The Superior Court of Justice or the Unified Family Court. After a divorce is granted, your legal status will change from married to single. We can help you get prepared and ensure your rights are protected during the process.

Filing for divorce is not mandatory if you wish to split from your spouse and it is only legally required if one party wishes to remarry. There are three grounds that constitute the “breakdown of a marriage” that would set the stage for a divorce application. They include:

• A one-year separation
• Adultery
• Cruelty

Some of the issues that may be contested include:

• Child custody and access
• Child support
• Division of property
• Spousal support

A divorce can be an emotionally and financially draining process that changes your life forever, so it’s imperative that you have adequate legal representation every step of the way.
