Contested Divorce

Experienced attorneys dedicated to protecting your rights and interests in a contested divorce.

• What is a contested divorce: “This is a situation where the parties, whether through attempted mediation with a mediator or by their own discussions, are not able to reach an agreement on critical matters involved in a divorce such as division of assets, custody of minor children, maintenance for children and spousal in need of maintenance, calculation of accrual and other matters such as donations between spouses. This is when a contested divorce comes into effect and the ultimate decision on the matter is placed before the Courts.
  
  
• What are the costs: The costs will vary largely depending on the complexity of the disputes. If the disputes can be isolated to, for example, custody, we can request the office of the Family Advocate to intervene, whose services are free, the costs can be largely reduced. By contrast, if the disputes relate to division of assets, calculation of accrual and perhaps, piercing assets forming part of family trusts, this could increase the costs.
