Divorce in Ontario The Gail Vaz-Oxlade Way

Divorce in Ontario can be a daunting and complicated matter. In the confusion and emotional hysteria, it’s easy to let money slip through your fingers.

Did you know that Canada has one of the highest divorce rates in the world? Forty percent of Canadian marriages end in divorce. The impact for a family – even a family of two – can be emotionally devastating, but also it can be devastating financially. In fact One-third of all people facing bankruptcy are there because they are also going through a divorce in Ontario or a separation.

According to a recent survey of Canadian Lawyers, the average cost of a traditional contested divorce in Canada is $23,730. With over 70,000 divorces annually, Canadians are spending a whopping amount of money on divorce.

Divorce is one of life’s curve-balls that has people twisting in the wind, feeling out of control and scared about what to do next. The thing that I always understood is this: If you go into a divorce with 12 oranges, you’re going to end up giving some of those oranges to the legal system.

But YOU don’t have to. YOU need to decide up front how many of those oranges you’re prepared to part with. The team of experts at The Common Sense Divorce can help you make sense of what you must do next, even as you preserve your assets as you create a new future for yourself and your family.
