FAQ
Common questions
Ontario law focuses on the best interests of the child, considering their needs, relationships, and stability.
No. Many separations are resolved through negotiation or mediation without a courtroom.
Support follows the Federal Child Support Guidelines, based mainly on income and the parenting arrangement.
Separation ends the relationship; divorce is the legal dissolution of the marriage itself, which can be finalized later.
It's possible, but independent legal advice helps ensure any agreement is fair and enforceable.
