SPOUSAL SUPPORT
Spousal support is intended to rectify the economic disadvantages resulting from the marriage and its breakdown, or provide support to a spouse who is in need. Both married and unmarried (i.e., common-law) spouses may be obligated to pay spousal support. When facing these issues, many individuals first consult with divorce lawyers in Toronto to fully understand their rights and obligations before entering negotiations or court proceedings.

PROPERTY DIVISION
The matrimonial home is another exception to the general rules. The law provides that when your marriage ends, the value of the family home must be equally shared even if one of you owned the home before you were married, received it as a gift, or inherited it. This rule applies regardless of whose name is on the title deed, and it is designed to protect the fair rights of both spouses. In some situations, especially where children are involved, decisions about property are closely tied to parenting arrangements, making it essential to work with parenting decision-making lawyers in Toronto who can address both financial and custodial considerations.

Divorcing Dentists
Unlike most other professional practices such as a law practice, dental practices are regularly bought, improved, and sold. Companies such as Tier Three Brokerage, appraise dental practices. The separation date is the focus point for the valuation of your dental practice. In other words, the value of your dental practice will be determined as of the date of separation. Upon separation, it will be necessary to equalize your assets with your spouse, including your dental practice, bank, and investment accounts (registered retirement savings plans, non-registered accounts, etc.) and real property. For personalized guidance during this process, many turn to divorce lawyers in Toronto who have experience with complex professional asset division.
