More Ways We Help

Uncontested (Simple) Divorce Applications

Uncontested Divorce

At Affinity Law, we understand the emotional toll and legal challenges that often accompany the end of a marriage. If you and your spouse agree on the terms of your separation, pursuing an uncontested divorce can be the fastest, most affordable, and least stressful path forward. 

Child Custody & Access (Parenting Time)

At Affinity Law, we understand that nothing matters more than your child’s well-being. Whether you're going through a separation, divorce, or custody dispute, our experienced family law lawyers offer compassionate and strategic representation for parents navigating custody and access matters in Ontario. 

Relocation Mobility Issues

Navigating a child relocation can be one of the most challenging experiences for parents. When one parent wishes to move with a child, it profoundly impacts the other parent and the child's life. 

Enforcement-of-Family-Court-Orders

Enforcement of family court orders can be one of the most critical stages in family law. When a judge issues a legally binding order, be it for child support, spousal support, custody, or property division, both parties are expected to follow it.

Decision-Making Responsibility (Custody)

Navigating the complexities of child support can be overwhelming. At Affinity Law, located in Toronto, Canada, we understand the profound impact these matters have on families. Our dedicated family law team provides comprehensive legal services for child support calculation and the effective enforcement of support orders. 

Valuation of Matrimonial Home

The Matrimonial Property Act is a cornerstone of family law in Toronto, guiding how assets and debts are divided when marriages end. While Ontario’s formal legislation is the Family Law Act, many colloquially use the term “matrimonial property act” to describe the framework governing property division. 

Restraining Orders

Domestic violence is a serious issue that demands immediate and decisive legal action. At Affinity Law, we understand the profound impact that abuse can have on individuals and families. 

Transparent Fees and Flexible Legal Support

Legal costs are an important consideration in family law matters. Where appropriate, we offer fixed-fee services and limited-scope (unbundled) representation, along with clear explanations of billing, process, and next steps, so clients can make informed decisions from the outset.
