In Canada, the vast majority of couples are divorced on the grounds of marriage breakdown as evidenced by a one year separation.

Free 1/2 hour Phone Consultation
There are not many words in Canada which can evoke such a wide range of emotions as the word “custody”.
Child Support

Domestic Contracts
The vast majority of couples resolve their differences on relationship breakdown by negotiating then signing a separation agreement.
Annulments
It is not an easy thing to get a marriage annulled in Canada. In my over twenty years of practice I have only had a couple of cases.
