Our Domestic Contracts services provide comprehensive legal support for individuals looking to establish a domestic agreement, whether it be a cohabitation agreement, marriage contract, separation agreement, paternity agreement, or family arbitration agreement.

We can guide you through the entire process, beginning with an initial consultation where we can gather information about your unique situation and help you understand your legal options. From there, we can provide legal advice, review documents, draft and edit pleadings, conduct negotiations, and provide guidance on courtroom procedures, rules of evidence, and procedural requirements.

We understand that domestic contracts can be complex, and our goal is to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible. Our team of lawyers will work with you to understand your specific needs and goals, and will provide personalized and practical solutions to meet those needs.

In addition to providing legal advice, we can also prepare exhibits, submissions, and briefs as necessary. We can provide legal support for contested or uncontested divorce cases, and can provide guidance on the division of property, including the matrimonial home, RRSP, pension, stocks, bonds, and other assets.

We can also provide independent legal advice on agreements and releases, ensuring that your rights are protected throughout the entire process. We understand that family law matters can be emotionally charged, and we are committed to providing compassionate and understanding support to help you achieve a fair and just resolution to your legal matter.
