For many families, making the shift to co-parenting after divorce can be tough. Decisions need to be made on parenting schedules, overnight visits, housing and more, all while juggling the needs of the child, the parents’ separate perceptions on the needs of the child, and societal norms. On this week’s episode of Divorce Explained, we delve into the topic of parenting time with small children and infants.

We discuss the implications of custody and access decisions on children’s development, how research in Attachment Theory may affect these decisions, and how the law decides what is best for your child while going through divorce.

In this week’s episode of Divorce Explained, we break down the role of emails in divorce. In today’s society, digital communication is often the primary point of contact between spouses after they separate. How can it be used as evidence in court, or influence the judge’s assessment of your case? Can emails, texts and social media communication affect your rights in your divorce proceedings, such as division of assets and decision-making authority for your children? What if your spouse’s legal team presents you with manufactured emails as evidence?

Tune in to learn the dos and don’ts of email communication during divorce.

Can you collect child support from the estate of a deceased person? Are you allowed to sue for unpaid child support as an adult? How far back can you go?

This week on Divorce Explained, we look at a recent Ontario Court of Appeal case in which a mother sought retroactive child support from the father’s estate. We compare and contrast this case with a Supreme Court of Canada decision on a very similar matter involving retroactive remedies for underpaid child support. Join us as we discuss this fascinating legal debate.

There are many divorce lawyers out there, all with different backgrounds, experience, personalities and expertise. The process of hiring a lawyer can be a difficult one. What reasons should guide you in choosing a lawyer – intellectual, emotional, approachability?  How can you best investigate lawyers so that you find a great match on your first attempt? Do you always need a lawyer that is located in your city, or that is a specialist in your type of case

This week, we discuss the reasons people chose - and chose to leave - lawyers, and share our own experiences with clients that have left us for other lawyers, and clients that have left their lawyers to come to us.

When going through a divorce, you often will need to know all the facts about you and your spouse’s finances before you start dividing up your assets. This where financial disclosure comes in. Do your lawyers really need this information to go through with a divorce proceeding, even if you don’t want to provide it? What happens if your spouse refuses to provide it? What about abuse of financial disclosure?

On this week’s episode of Divorce Explained, we explain the ins and outs of financial disclosure in family law, to help you improve your financial literacy while navigating divorce.
