CHILD SUPPORT
If you seek child support in Canada, you might want to consider that the province you are in may influence how you obtain it. In Ontario, it is based on a formula, and you would have to pay the custodial parent along with additional extraordinary expenses.
The guidelines generally consider the non-custodial parents' income and the number of children.
The expenses may include:
-
Health-related expenses related to the child, like Orthodontics, therapy, or prescription drugs.
-
Expenses for post-secondary education for the child.
-
Child's extracurricular activities, such as music lessons.
-
Medical and dental insurance premiums.
-
School or educational programs.
SPOUSAL SUPPORT
The Department of Justice in Canada has formed the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines. These guidelines present financial ranges that aren't bound by the force of law and therefore are flexible.
Our group makes it a priority to consider issues like duration and form of payment, and re-marriage and unemployment. For the same reason, it is essential that you reach out for legal guidance before you begin the separation process.
We at MJD Law understand that situations like these require immense experience and compassion when represented. Our group of lawyers will help you understand your rights and make informed decisions every step of the way.

Our team, with our compassionate approach, will help you know access arrangements.
DIVORCE LAW AND BENEFICIAL AGREEMENT
There are situations in which the partners in a marriage do not agree on the division of assets, child custody, child support or spousal support. They negotiate these details for a longer duration than they need to.
Such situations demand qualified lawyers to get to a satisfactory resolution by considering both the parties' needs and concerns.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic Assault charges require an experienced group of lawyers as they are severe cases in the eyes of the law. The police will lay the bills and allow the court to determine the verdict. To avoid a criminal record, you need a Domestic Violence lawyer who will see every side of your situation. Take into consideration how much you may have to pay, if you will be allowed to obtain bail, and if you can return with your family.
