Family Law in Hamilton: Frequently Asked Questions

No, you don’t necessarily need to live in Hamilton to schedule a consultation with our family law lawyers. While we have a satellite office in Hamilton so that those in Hamilton and surrounding communities can connect with us, we also serve clients across the entire province of Ontario, throughout 11 different locations.

In Ontario, both spouses have an equal right to the possession and value of the matrimonial home, no matter whose name the title is in. This is true even if the home was purchased before the marriage or with gifted money. 

When you separate, the value of the home will be subject to equalization. Neither spouse can force the other to leave the home or sell the home without a court order or agreement. If you can reach an agreement, one spouse may buy out the other’s share, you may sell the home and split the profit, or come to another mutually satisfactory arrangement.

If you encounter a parenting dispute with a former partner, you may choose to resolve your issue out of court or through the court system. Outside of court, you may engage in an alternative dispute resolution method (e.g., mediation, arbitration, collaborative family law) wherein you and your spouse can negotiate a satisfactory agreement amongst yourselves and file your agreement with the court. 

If you cannot agree outside of court, you can take your case before a judge in Ontario. They will examine evidence and arguments presented by both parties and issue a final judgment on the outcome of the parenting dispute. When it comes to parenting arrangements, courts normally consider the best interests of the child when making decisions.
