I have worked in the areas of family and immigration law for about a decade. Why family and immigration law? Simply, it is because these are the areas that I have an interest in where there is a large enough market for a sole practitioner, like myself, to find good potential clients, like yourself. They are different areas of law, but they overlap in many ways. For example, it is common for new immigrants to  get married to a person who resides in their previous home country. Once the couple is married or have lived common law for a sufficient period, then the new immigrant will apply to sponsor their spouse and any dependent children. Once the sponsorship is approved, the sponsored spouse and any dependent children are able reside in Canada as permanent residents. In Canada, roughly half of all marriages will end in divorce and the likelihood of separation is probably significantly higher for common law relationships. Thus, many people who have sponsored a spouse or who were sponsored by their spouse will see their relationship breakdown and, if they were married, seek a divorce. Afterwards, the parties will most likely get re-married or cohabit with another person in a marriage-like relationship. All along the way the parties will benefit from ongoing legal advice and representation which may include agreements, negotiation, mediation, and litigation. One is the loneliest number, but two can be as bad as one. I always do my best to help my clients resolve their legal problems in a way that will leave them optimistic and looking forward to the future.
