Dividing Your Property
Property division can be a challenging area of family law – and handling complex financial matters is one of my passions. My practice is focussed on untangling the web of ownership, valuation, equalization, and how these issues can be settled through the law. I will meet your needs as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, through mediation, negotiation, or in court if appropriate.
Spousal & Child Support
Support is another high-conflict area of family law. If you want to understand your rights, or are worried about the amount of support you will get (or need to provide), contact me to understand how the system of support works in Ontario.
High Conflict Parenting Issues
Whether your spouse is behind in support, you’re facing a relocation issue, or if you’re trying to determine schooling and parenting time, it can be difficult to find agreement when you’re separated. You want what’s best for you children, but you may have to work hard to get it. Let me work beside you, to guide you and help you understand the ins and outs of parenting issues in family law.
Cohabitation Agreements and Marriage Contracts
The best relationships start with a solid foundation – and that’s what a well-crafted and fair Cohabitation or Marriage Agreement can provide. These documents aren’t designed to restrict a relationship, they’re meant to help you communicate on key issues, like finance and property, at the beginning of your time together. Many relationships end as a result of disagreements over finances – agreeing on these matters can help protect your future.

Alison was able to analyse and understand both the personal and business financial information and find many irregularities and errors. Her findings were crucial for me winning the case. I knew that things were wrong and needed her help to prove it. Not only did she untangle the mess that the other lawyer did, she solved my problem relatively quickly and was able to present my case to the judge successfully.
