Divorce Law

Barrie Divorce Lawyers

Always a difficult decision to come to, divorce can also be a new start when a relationship fails.  In addition to the obvious legal requirements you’ll need to consider, one should also consider counselling as it can be a challenging time even for the strongest individuals, and especially when children are involved.

Common complications to obtaining a divorce can arise and include the length of the relationship, if children are involved, financial situations, fidelity, and of course any physical or mental abuse.

In Canada a party is entitled to a divorce if:

  • The parties have lived separate and apart for at least one year;
  • The other party has been physically or mentally cruel to the party asking for the divorce; or
  • The other party has committed adultery.

    • There are many issues that arise when a marriage ends in divorce and these issues can have important legal consequences for a long period of time. Our expert divorce lawyer Peter A. Douglas has decades of courtroom divorce law experience and will provide the best results for your divorce case.

    In addition to the divorce itself, our lawyers can help resolve child support, spousal support and property division issues.
