At M. G. Michaels, we understand that changes in marital status, including separation, divorce, child access arrangements, restraining orders, and guardianship decisions, impact more than just the couple at the centre of these changes. These transitions ripple through the entire family, affecting children, extended family members, and even close friends.🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒⁠
⁠
Children may experience emotional stress and confusion, requiring careful consideration and support during custody and access negotiations.⁠
⁠
👴 Extended family members might struggle with altered relationships and access to the children, while the broader emotional and financial implications can create challenges for everyone involved.⁠
⁠
Our experienced legal team is dedicated to navigating these complexities with sensitivity and expertise, ensuring that all family members' needs are considered and addressed throughout the process.💙⁠

Increasingly, not just young couples or those with high net worth are entering into Marriage Contracts or Prenups when contemplating a big decision like marriage; clarity is a very good thing for everyone. That’s the point of a Marriage Contract or Prenup.⁠
⁠
The purpose of a Marriage Contract or Prenup is to clearly set out each spouse’s expectations and wishes on various issues, such as property division or support, if the marriage should come to an end.⁠
⁠
Our expert family law team can help you draft specific, thoughtful, fair, and legally binding Marriage Contracts or Prenup.⁠

Small Claims Court is a division of the Superior Court of Justice that hears claims under $35,000. It is faster, and much cheaper than proceeding in the regular Superior Court. And, starting in October 2025, the limit will increase to $50,000. The Small Claims Court was designed so that parties could act on their own behalf, but it can still be a confusing process. The right paperwork needs to be completed at the right time in the right way.⁠

At M. G. Michaels & Associates, our paralegal team can assist you with all aspects of your matter, from drafting the Plaintiff’s Claim and or Defence, to trying to negotiate a settlement for you, and appearing as your agent at Court.⁠
