Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law in Winnipeg
-
We assist with divorce, separation, child custody and access, child and spousal support, property division, adoption, and domestic agreements (such as prenuptial or cohabitation agreements).

While it is possible to file for divorce on your own, having a lawyer ensures that your rights are protected and that your application is complete and accurate. We can guide you through the process, help avoid delays, and advocate for your best interests.
-
Custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. Courts consider factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, stability, caregiving history, and overall well-being. We work with you to pursue an arrangement that supports your child’s needs.
-
Child support in Canada is usually determined by the Federal Child Support Guidelines, which take into account the paying parent’s income and the number of children. Additional expenses, such as daycare or medical costs, may also be shared.
-
Spousal support depends on several factors, including the length of the relationship, each partner’s financial situation, roles during the relationship, and ability to be self-supporting. We can assess your situation and provide guidance on what to expect.
-
In Manitoba, marital property is typically divided equally, but there are exceptions. Property division can be complex, especially if businesses, pensions, or real estate are involved. We can help you navigate the division fairly.

The $1,250 simple-divorce package is for a straightforward, uncontested divorce only, with parenting, support and property issues already resolved. The standard uncontested-divorce fee is $1,500. Both are plus GST and PST. Eligibility and the document preparation and filing work included are confirmed in your written retainer. Court filing fees, service costs and other disbursements are additional.
Contested divorce and trial figures are estimates, not total-case prices. Your written quote will specify preparation, court appearances, other work and any initial retainer. Request a consultation to determine the appropriate scope.
