Ontario Family Law Facts
Family Law Courts
Ontario has Superior Court of Justice locations across the province that handle family law matters including divorce, child custody, spousal support, and property division. Cases are heard at the courthouse nearest to where the family resides.
Family Mediation Services
Ontario offers family mediation services across the province to help families resolve disputes outside of court. Mediation is a cost-effective and less adversarial way to settle separation, divorce, and custody matters.
Legal Aid and Community Resources
Families across Ontario can access Legal Aid Ontario for free or low-cost legal help, as well as Family Law Information Centres (FLICs) located at courthouses throughout the province, which provide free guidance on family law rights and court procedures.
Child Support Guidelines
All Ontario families follow the Federal Child Support Guidelines , which determine child support payments based on the paying parent's gross annual income and the number of children. These guidelines ensure consistency and fairness regardless of where in Ontario the family lives.
Divorce Process
Ontario residents can file for divorce at their nearest Superior Court of Justice . Ontario follows a no-fault divorce system, meaning couples can obtain a divorce based on one year of separation without proving fault or wrongdoing by either party.
