Same-sex couples in Ontario have the same rights as heterosexual couples pertaining to marriage, cohabitation, adoption, and assisted reproduction. With the right to marry, comes the right to seek a divorce.

Divorces involving same-sex couples are equally as challenging as any divorce. Whether same sex or not, navigating the Divorce Act and the Canadian courts is complex. You will benefit from seeking legal counsel. The divorce lawyers at Galbraith Family Law can help families and couples navigate this personal process.

Divorce after 50 or "Grey divorce" refers to a divorce involving members of the Baby Boomer generation, regardless of how long they were actually married. While divorcing couples in their fifties and sixties do not normally have to worry about child custody issues, they do face certain financial challenges, such as the division of retirement benefits, investment accounts, pensions, and marital property accumulated over decades.

If you are getting divorced after age 50, it takes careful planning to live comfortably with half of the equity you have acquired over the years. Galbraith Family Law can help you address the unique legal and financial challenges you may face during and after your divorce.

Some ways we can help

The divorce process

We’ve created a simplified breakdown of what the divorce process would look like with Galbraith Family Law.

Initial consultation

We start by listening to your story and providing you with a clear plan for moving forward. During the consultation, you’ll get answers to your questions and a roadmap to help you reach a resolution.

Exchange of financial disclosure

The law requires both parties to disclose their assets, debts, and income fully. This ensures that you both have the information needed to make informed decisions. We also take the time to understand your relationship dynamics and parenting roles, which helps us find solutions for child-related matters.

Negotiations

In all cases, including those that might go to court, we engage in strategic negotiations. We assist you in creating settlement offers and analyzing the offers made by the other party. We work together to craft a fair deal that meets your needs and protects your rights.

Settlement or court order

Most cases are resolved through mutual agreement. However, in some instances, a judge may need to make a binding decision. If necessary, we can request a judge to issue an order that both parties must follow. A negotiated agreement is formalized through a Separation Agreement, which is also legally binding.

Divorce

If you are legally married (not in a common-law relationship), we can assist you in obtaining an uncontested Divorce Order. This typically involves submitting necessary paperwork to the Court for a judge’s approval. If you were never married, you do not need to request a Divorce.

Jean Jeanveau

My separation and subsequent divorce was not a long, drawn-out process.

In fact, it was incredibly quick with the results that I wanted. Brian made me feel at ease, had me understand the steps it took to agree to terms of a separation, and he was by my side through it all. The benefit of a quick divorce was that costs are minimized and the hurt caused by both sides is mitigated.
