What We Handle
Property Division Matters We Handle
We handle every aspect of property division and equalization for Scarborough clients. If your situation is not listed, call us — the consultation is free.
Our Approach
How We Handle Your Property Division
We review your assets, debts, and the date of marriage, cohabitation, and separation, and explain what equalization will likely look like — no charge, no obligation.
We gather full and sworn financial disclosure from both spouses as of the valuation dates — this is the foundation of every equalization calculation.
We value every asset and debt, apply exclusions where they genuinely apply, and calculate each spouse's net family property.
We negotiate firmly to reach a fair equalization settlement wherever possible, whether as part of a separation agreement or a divorce.
Where agreement isn't possible, we bring or defend equalization applications and advocate forcefully on your behalf.
Once an equalization payment is ordered or agreed, we help enforce it if the other spouse fails to pay.

Filing an Equalization Claim at Toronto's Superior Court From Scarborough
Property division and equalization claims for Scarborough residents are filed in the Superior Court of Justice (Family) at 361 University Avenue — the same court that handles divorce — while a related parenting or support issue, if any, is heard separately at the Ontario Court of Justice in North York.
We appear at both locations and know how to keep a property claim moving forward in step with any related issue, rather than letting one process lag behind the other.
An In-Person Advantage for a Major Financial Decision
Our Scarborough office means I see the same neighbourhoods and often the same courthouse staff week after week, and that familiarity tends to translate into fewer surprises for our local clients.
Even in an age of video calls, a lot of Scarborough clients want to sit across the table from their lawyer for a decision with this much financial weight — and being based here means that's always an option.
From My Experience: What Scarborough Clients Should Know About Property Division
Two courthouses, one coordinated file
A lot of Scarborough clients don't realize their property claim and any parenting dispute could be heard at two different Toronto courthouses. Keeping both processes moving together, rather than letting one lag behind the other, is something I pay close attention to.
Being local changes the conversation, not the law
Our Scarborough office means I see the same neighbourhoods and often the same courthouse staff week after week, and that familiarity tends to translate into fewer surprises for our local clients along the way.
In-person meetings matter for a decision this size
Even in an age of video calls, I've found that a lot of Scarborough clients want to sit across the table from their lawyer for a financial decision this significant — and being based here means that's always an option.
Full disclosure protects both sides, not just one
Whether a Scarborough equalization claim is amicable or contested, I make sure disclosure is complete before any settlement is signed — an agreement built on incomplete information can be challenged later.
