Same-Sex Divorce

As the world continues to evolve and become more accepting of same-sex couples, we have seen significant changes in the legal system. Now, same-sex couples not only have the right to marry — they have the right to a divorce. We can help make certain that your rights are protected and that other aspects such as property division, custody, access and child support are handled appropriately for your situation.

Division of Property

The Family Relations Act (Provincial) and Divorce Act (Federal) govern the division of assets, common law breakups, spousal support, alimony, child custody, guardianship and access.

Common Law relationships are based in Trust Law. This is a complex and old area of the law, which basically states that one party can, as a result of its own actions, hold Property in trust for the other party. Courts will order a division of the Property and Assets of the relationship. When the parties separate, the courts will determine what percentage of the assets will go to each individual.

Mark Epstein has more than 20 years of legal experience representing clients in family law matters. He is familiar with the case laws regarding same-sex marriages and knowledgeable of how the courts will examine the situation in order to determine property division. Mr. Epstein understands issues that frequently arise in same-sex divorce, and he will work to answer all your questions and concerns in a prompt manner.
