Ontario Variation Lawyers

Comprehensive Support for Post-Divorce Order Changes in Ontario

After a divorce has been finalized and the terms of parenting time, decision-making responsibility, child support, and property division have been agreed upon, a significant change in circumstances may warrant a variation of a current court order. This most often pertains to parenting or support orders. In these situations, it will be important to understand what rights and options you have in requesting a variation.

Our Ontario divorce modification & variation lawyers can help you. Since 1994, Feldstein Family Law Group P.C. has worked with people in Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Oakville, Vaughan, and the surrounding areas to represent the interests of our clients in all divorce and family law matters.

We know how difficult it can be to obtain a variation and understand how to present a case clearly and in a compelling manner, in accordance with all applicable federal and/or provincial laws. Because we offer a range of services based on your budget and needs, you can also count on our affordability without sacrificing efficacy.

To Schedule a Free Consultation, Call (905) 581-7222. or Contact Us Online Today.

Modifying a Parenting Order in Ontario

To successfully and legally alter a final order regarding parenting time or decision-making responsibility or an agreement for support, you must initiate a Motion to Change at the appropriate court. In most cases, this will be the court that granted the original order.

There are two different routes wherein such a motion can be initiated and then executed:

  • By filing a Consent Motion to Change (if you and the other parent are in agreement with the proposed change); or
  • By filing a Motion to Change (if you and the other parent are not in agreement and you are the one proposing the change).

If your former spouse or partner has already filed a Motion to Change, and you wish to contest this, you can file a Response to Motion to Change.

Determining which forms to file and how to properly fill these out can be a daunting prospect. Our Ontario modification & variation lawyers can handle every aspect of your proposed variation for you, or we can offer unbundled legal services to address only those issues with which you need assistance. Regardless, our approach will be tailored to fulfill your needs.

Navigating Legal Changes to Support and Custody Orders

After a divorce, circumstances can change, and the terms of your parenting or support orders may need to be modified. Our team of experienced Ontario variation lawyers can help you navigate the legal process of seeking a variation to your existing orders. Whether you need to adjust child custody, access schedules, or support payments, we can provide the guidance and representation you need to protect your rights and best interests.

Common reasons for seeking post-divorce variations include:

  • Change in income or employment status
  • Relocation of a parent or child
  • Change in the child's needs or circumstances
  • Changes in parenting responsibilities

Don't navigate post-divorce variations alone. Contact our law firm today to schedule a consultation and discuss your options with our knowledgeable legal team.
