Scarborough is part of the City of Toronto, so a Scarborough family case runs through Toronto's courts. Toronto is not a Unified Family Court, which surprises people: divorce and dividing property go to the Superior Court of Justice, while parenting time and support are often handled at the Ontario Court of Justice. We'll explain which court applies to you before you spend money on it.
What we help with
- Separation and divorce
- Parenting time and decision-making responsibility
- Child support and spousal support
- Property division and equalization
- Separation agreements and marriage contracts
Common questions
- Will I have to go to court?
- Often not. Many separations are settled with a written agreement. Court is there if you need it, but it's usually the last step, not the first.
- Can I get help if I can't afford a full retainer?
- Yes. Ask about a limited scope retainer. We can take on one part of your matter, like reviewing an agreement or handling a single appearance, so you only pay for what you need.
