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.

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

Despite the common misconception, 12 is not a ā€œmagic ageā€ 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.
