Spousal Support
Spousal support, sometimes called alimony or maintenance, is money paid by one spouse to another after separation or divorce. This is a highly negotiated figure, and we know it can be stressful. We will work with you and your former spouse to find an arrangement that suits your financial needs.

Child Support
Child support is determined by the Child Support Guidelines of Canadian Law unless otherwise decided by the parents, and exists based on the principle that each parent has a financial obligation to assist in raising their children. Because the guidelines are based on income, parents might hide assets, intentionally take less income, or intentionally stay unemployed in order to pay less child support. Casey can help negotiate a fair settlement in these cases.

Child Custody
If you and your former partner have children together, a decision will need to be made about your child’s custody. When a judge rules on custody, he or she must do so by considering the best interests of your children. This can be a complex negotiation, and in some cases children may also have a say. Casey can help make this negotiation more fair, and stop children from becoming bargaining chips.

Division of Assets
The division of property and assets in a separation or divorce can be complicated. The more assets a couple has, the more complex the negotiations become. Ontario’s Family Law Act provides a formula for dividing these assets, and Casey can help make it all make sense during this confusing process.
