🔻 What happens if I can’t find my marriage license?

✔️I’ve had many clients come to me and tell me that they cannot find their marriage license, or that the marriage license, for whatever reason, wasn’t registered on the day of the wedding by the officiant. And they ask me what the implications of this are. The law in Ontario provides for something called a good faith marriage, which essentially means that the court will operate under the assumption that you were married and treat you accordingly in determining your rights and obligations if you can establish that you had a good faith marriage, which means you intended to be married, you thought you were married, you acted like you were married, and you represented yourself to the community as a married couple. If you can prove this, the court will assume that you were married and treat you accordingly, even if you cannot provide the legal documentation to prove your marriage.

🔻 What’s the biggest mistake that people make in divorce and separation?

✔️ The biggest mistake that people make in separation and divorce is not obtaining legal advice quickly enough. People are often blindsided by their separation and they find themselves overwhelmed. However, the financial arrangements, parenting arrangements, and communications between the spouses immediately after the separation can have lasting financial and other consequences on your rights and obligations and the outcome of your family law proceedings. This is why it is important to obtain legal advice as quickly as possible after your separation. Contact Mazanani & Associates for more information.

FAQ
Is mediation confidential?
Yes. Mediation is generally confidential. Discussions are conducted on a “without prejudice” basis, meaning they cannot be used as evidence in court and are intended to encourage settlement.

AQ
How does the mediation process work?
A typical mediation process includes:
1. Intake and screening: The mediator gathers background information and ensures the process is safe and suitable for both parties.
2. Preparation and disclosure: Parties share necessary financial and property information to facilitate informed discussions.
3. Mediation sessions: Meetings can be in-person or virtual. The mediator guides discussions, explores options, and helps the parties reach agreements.
4. Agreement documentation: If terms are agreed upon, the mediator records them in a memorandum of understanding or draft settlement, which a lawyer can formalize into a legal agreement.

🔻What happens if you were married outside of Canada?
✔️I often have people ask me whether there are any implications to the fact that they were married outside of Canada and whether the court in Ontario will recognize their marriage. The short answer is yes. The courts in Ontario will recognize a marriage that was done outside of Canada as long as there is proof of it or proof of a good faith marriage, and it will be treated exactly the same as any other person who was married here in Ontario.
