A Family Court order has been made, but your ex still isn’t following it. What happens now?

The answer depends on what is being ignored. Missed support payments, denied parenting time, withheld financial disclosure and refusal to transfer property can all require different enforcement steps.

One thing you should not do? Retaliate by breaking another part of the order. That can create a much bigger problem for everyone involved.

Our latest blog explains how Family Court orders may be enforced in Ontario, when a motion might be necessary, what evidence to collect and why contempt is not always the first or best option.

If your former partner is refusing to follow an existing order, our Ontario family lawyers can help you understand your next step.

Who decides where your child goes to school after separation?

Back-to-school season can raise difficult questions for separated parents in Ontario. You may disagree about school choice, transportation, extracurricular activities, access to school information or who makes the final decision.

The answer depends on your parenting arrangement and who has decision-making responsibility for education. If parents share that responsibility, making a major school decision without the other parent’s agreement could create legal complications.

Our latest blog explains how Ontario family law approaches school-related parenting disputes, whether a child can choose their school and what parents can do when they cannot agree.

Meet Karan Sangha, one of the lawyers on our team.

Karan believes family law is about more than resolving legal issues, it's about helping people move through challenging transitions with confidence and dignity. Since being called to the bar in both Saskatchewan and Ontario in 2020, he has focused primarily on family law, providing practical, tailored guidance that reflects each client's unique circumstances.

Whenever possible, Karan works to resolve matters through negotiation and Collaborative Practice, helping families avoid unnecessary conflict and expense. When litigation is required, he is a dedicated advocate who works tirelessly to protect his clients' interests.

Outside the office, Karan enjoys playing tennis, watching films from around the world, and appreciating the stories and perspectives that great cinema has to offer.

Can a 12-year-old decide which parent they live with in Ontario?

Despite the common misconception, 12 is not a “magic age” when a child gets to choose. Children generally have equal access to both parents, and while their wishes may be considered, they do not make the final decision.

As Galbraith Family Law lawyer Sandra explains, a child’s age, maturity and possible parental influence may all be considered. Ultimately, parenting arrangements are based on the child’s best interests, not simply their preference.
