All children deserve an environment that's safe and sane – whether at home, at play, or at school. Our lawyers can assist you with adoption, guardianship, custody, and child support in Pictou and surrounding areas.

Divorce and Separation

Divorce is the legal termination of a marriage. In some provinces, divorce is called dissolution or dissolution of marriage. A divorce usually includes division of marital property and, if necessary, arrangements for child custody and support. It leaves both people free to marry again.

If you and your spouse have been able to reach an agreement about the custody of the children and the division of the assets, we would be pleased to help you effectively complete the divorce process. We will prepare the necessary documents for you to sign and deal with the process of submitting the documents to the Supreme Court. It is no longer necessary for you to appear personally in court for a divorce proceeding if matters have been agreed upon and are confirmed in writing. Call us for further details.
