Common Law Separation

Navigating a separation is challenging, and it can be even more complex for common-law partners. At Mike Nyhof Family Law, we understand the unique aspects of common-law separations and are committed to helping our clients address these challenges effectively.

Common-law partners, who have lived together in a marriage-like relationship but are not legally married, face many of the same issues as married couples when they separate. This includes dealing with matters such as property division, child custody, and support issues. However, the laws governing these issues can be different for common-law partners compared to married couples, which can make these separations more complex.

One of the key differences is that common-law partners do not automatically have an equal right to share in the property accumulated during the relationship. This can lead to disputes over who owns what and how the property should be divided. Our team can guide you through the process of property division, ensuring your rights are protected and working towards a fair resolution.

Similarly, we can assist with child custody and support matters. We understand the importance of maintaining a strong and healthy relationship with your children, and we work diligently to establish fair and appropriate custody and access arrangements that prioritize the best interests of the child.

Navigating a common-law separation can be a daunting task without proper legal guidance. Our team is here to provide you with the support and advice you need to ensure your rights are protected and to work towards a fair resolution of all matters arising from your separation.

If you're facing a common-law separation and need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us. At Mike Nyhof Family Law, we're here to help you navigate these complex matters with clarity and confidence.
