Family law covers separation and divorce, parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, and property division. Unified’s family lawyers in Toronto help clients move forward developing parenting plans, outlining the options for division of property, and calculating child and spousal support amounts. Ultimately, we will help you develop a comprehensive separation agreement so that you can move transition with confidence.

Separation is when spouses begin living separate lives with at least one person intending to separate, even if under one roof. Divorce is the legal court order ending a marriage. Many families resolve parenting, support, and property issues before finalizing the divorce.

Parenting decisions are based on the child’s best interests. A workable parenting plan focuses on stability, routines, communication, and clear decision-making so conflict is minimized over time. At Unified LLP we will assist you with navigating all facets of this process and guide you to practical and effective solutions.

Do not sign until you understand your rights and financial position. A proper agreement typically requires full financial disclosure and terms that are realistic, enforceable, and tailored to your situation.

Do not sign immediately. Ask for the offer in writing, note any deadlines, and get advice before accepting. Unified’s employment lawyers can review the offer and explain what you may be entitled to.

Severance depends on your role, length of service, compensation, and the terms of your contract. A quick legal review can identify whether the offer matches your legal entitlements and what may be negotiable.

Wrongful dismissal typically means you were terminated without proper notice or pay in lieu, or in a way that breaches your legal rights or contract. If this applies, Unified’s wrongful dismissal lawyer in Toronto page explains how these claims are assessed.

That may be constructive dismissal, depending on the facts. Document changes, keep communication professional, and get advice before resigning, because timing and wording can affect your options.

Act quickly and avoid trying to “patch” the claim with random documents. A strong response is organized and evidence-led, focusing on functional limitations and medical support. Unified’s long-term disability lawyers can review what happened and outline next steps.

Common reasons include “insufficient medical evidence,” disputes over restrictions, missed paperwork, surveillance, or insurer medical exams. Denials often come down to how the evidence is presented and whether it clearly supports the policy’s disability definition.

Clear medical documentation that explains restrictions, treatment history, prognosis, and how symptoms limit work capacity. Consistency matters—especially when records tie limitations directly to job duties and daily function.

Short-term disability generally covers a limited period, while long-term disability is designed for extended inability to work and often has a stricter “any occupation” test later on. If you need guidance, Unified’s short-term disability lawyer in Toronto page provides a useful starting point.
