FAMILY LAW
Family law is...​
The area of law that governs relationships between the family. Whether between spouses, between spouses and their children or between other family members.
​
Thus, family law may deal with the union or separation of two persons, matrimonial regimes, the obligations of spouses, the exercise by spouses of custody and parental authority over their children, and alimony.
​
AMICABLE DIVORCE
At Boavista Legal Services Inc., one of our values is the promotion of alternative resolution methods.
​
In the case of a divorce proceeding, we offer the amicable divorce service when you and your ex-spouse are able to agree on:
-
child care;
-
alimony;
-
the division of property and any other aspect relating to finance.

Initial meeting with the parties
Drafting the draft agreement and the petition for divorce
The filing of proceedings at the court
The follow-up of your case. We remain at your disposal for any follow-up question or action
CONTESTED DIVORCE
In the case of a contested divorce, where you or your spouse do not agree on the afore-mentioned elements, we will assist you in the following:
Should such negotiations fail, we will shift into litigation mode and prepare your petition for divorce with or without accessories (child custody, alimony, etc.)
