Family court cases in Mississauga, Ontario

Whether it’s a happy occasion like a step-parent adoption or a more difficult occasion like a divorce, a visit to the Family Court can come with stress and uncertainty. At Galbraith Family Law, we work hard to remove that stress and uncertainty for our clients. We help protect your – and your children’s – rights.

Our years of experience with 
the family law court system 
works to your benefit.

Family Court refers to a wide range of domestic and family-related legal matters that often include divorce and resulting issues related to divorce – like separation agreements, parenting agreements, child custody or parenting time, spousal support, child support, division of property and more. Family Court can also deal with agreements before marriage like pre- and post-marital agreements.

It also deals with the most common form of adoptions, step-parent adoptions.When we represent you in Family Court, our lawyers work tirelessly to ensure you get the best possible outcome for your case. We understand that family law issues can affect the rest of your life. For that reason, we will stand by your side and fight for you with integrity and honesty.

It’s important, if you feel your parenting time (previously known as child custody) may be contested, to get a legal agreement or order as soon as possible. We can simplify and assist you so that you get an agreement or court order as fast as possible.

It is determined by the court based on a number of factors, such as:

  • Each parent’s income
  • The living arrangements with each parent
  • Number of dependent children
  • Childcare costs
  • Health insurance costs
  • Education costs
  • Costs of any disabilities or medical conditions

In high net worth divorce cases, the court generally has much wider discretion in determining amounts but the same principles apply.

The bottom line is every case is unique – just like every child and every family is unique. Our lawyers will work closely with you to determine what is the best amount for you to receive or pay and then we will work hard to ensure your needs are met.

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.
