Donnell Law Group Adept at Navigating Jurisdictional Issues

The emotional turmoil stirred up by family law issues compounds the difficulty of understanding the complicated legalities and processes involved in resolving family law cases. Beyond the typically confounding legal elements that dictate the resolution of family law matters, clients often need to contend with jurisdictional issues. Resolving the varied elements of family law, East Gwillimbury-wise or throughout Ontario, may involve any of three different court systems. Depending upon the issues at hand, your unique case may fall under the purview of the Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice, of the Family Court of the Superior Court of Justice.

Not only do these court systems have distinct differences in protocols and possible legal interpretation, but your case may involve the intersection of federal and provincial jurisdictional issues. That’s because federal laws typically dictate legalities involving marriage and divorce, but numerous provincial laws apply to the division of property and child and spousal support resolution.

Arrange Your Legal Separation with Lawyers in East Gwillimbury
