Strategic Support When Divorce Becomes Disputed

Not every divorce is amicable. If you and your spouse cannot agree on parenting, support, or property, you need strong legal representation. ABALAW guides clients across Toronto and the GTA through contested divorces with strategic planning and steady advocacy.

What Is a Contested Divorce?

A contested divorce involves disagreements on:

Parenting time and decision-making responsibility
Spousal or child support
Division of property or debts
Relocation or access schedules

We advocate for practical solutions while protecting your legal rights — through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary.

Document drafting, financial disclosure, and court filings
Skilled representation in Ontario’s family court system

Will I need to appear in court?

Not always. Many contested divorces resolve outside of court through legal negotiations or mediation.

What happens if my spouse won’t disclose finances?
