Matrimonial Home, Divorce and Ontario Family Law

It starts with the matrimonial home.

The success of your divorce settlement often depends directly upon how your matrimonial home is handled from the outset of your separation.

Resolution of the major issues in a divorce case, including child custody, spousal support and property division, can often flow directly from who has possession of the matrimonial home, usually the family’s largest asset, at the time of separation. Depending on whether or not you have left the matrimonial home, your lawyer may have an uphill battle in securing a settlement that is in your best interest.
