Frequently Asked Questions (Ottawa Specific)
Q1: Do you only handle divorce cases in Ottawa?
A: Yes, Behrendt Law Chambers operates exclusively out of its Ottawa office and represents clients solely within the City of Ottawa, focusing on local family law matters including divorce.
Q2: How long does a divorce typically take in Ottawa?
A: The duration varies significantly depending on factors like whether the divorce is contested or uncontested, the complexity of issues (custody, support), and court availability. Uncontested divorces can often be finalized relatively quickly, sometimes within a few months, while contested cases can take a year or longer. We can provide a more accurate estimate after reviewing your specific situation.
Q3: What is the difference between a contested and uncontested divorce in Ottawa?
A: An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major terms (grounds for divorce, division of property, child custody, access, support). A contested divorce arises when spouses disagree on one or more issues and require court intervention to resolve the dispute. We handle both types of cases in Ottawa family court.
Q4: Do I need a lawyer for my divorce in Ottawa?
A: While it is legally possible to represent yourself (pro se), divorce involves complex legal procedures, potential impacts on finances and children, and significant legal rights. Ottawa family law is intricate, and court errors can have lasting consequences. We strongly recommend seeking legal counsel from a qualified Ottawa divorce lawyer to protect your interests effectively.
Q5: How is child support calculated in Ottawa?
A: Child support calculations in Ottawa (and throughout Ontario) are primarily guided by the Federal Child Support Guidelines. These guidelines consider the paying parent's gross income, the number of children, and the time the children spend with each parent. Spousal support considerations follow separate federal guidelines. We can assist with accurately calculating support based on current guidelines.
