Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if a spouse refuses to provide financial disclosure?

Ontario courts take financial disclosure obligations seriously. A judge can order disclosure, draw negative inferences, impose financial penalties, or in some cases set aside agreements where information was intentionally concealed.

Do all family law disputes go to trial?

No. Many family law matters resolve through negotiation or settlement discussions. However, preparing a case properly from the beginning often creates stronger leverage if court becomes necessary later.

How do courts determine the best interests of the child?

Ontario courts examine several factors, including stability, parenting history, communication between parents, the child’s emotional needs, and each parent’s ability to support the child’s relationship with the other parent.

Can a separation agreement be challenged later?

Yes. Separation agreements may be challenged if there was coercion, lack of financial disclosure, significant unfairness, or if one party did not fully understand the agreement when signing.

What should I do before meeting with family law counsel?

Gather important documents such as financial records, court materials, tax returns, parenting schedules, and written communications relevant to your case. Organized information allows Marcy Segal to assess your situation more efficiently and develop an effective legal strategy early.
