Divorce Lawyers in Canada

Divorce lawyers help people deal with the legal issues that can come up when a marriage ends. This may include uncontested divorce, contested divorce, separation agreements, parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support, property division, and court filings.

Use this category to find family lawyers in Canada who handle divorce-related matters. Depending on your situation, a divorce lawyer may help you understand your rights, prepare documents, negotiate an agreement, represent you in family court, or guide you through the divorce process in your province or territory.

Common reasons people look for a divorce lawyer include applying for divorce, responding to divorce papers, dealing with child custody or parenting time, calculating support, dividing family property, resolving disputes over the matrimonial home, or turning a separation agreement into a legally enforceable arrangement.

If your divorce is simple and both spouses agree on the major issues, you may also want to compare uncontested divorce lawyers or divorce mediation lawyers. If there are disputes involving children, support, property, business interests, family violence, or urgent court issues, a divorce lawyer with litigation experience may be more appropriate.
