Divorce Lawyer in Montreal. Certified Family Mediator
Clear Guidance. Firm Representation. Real Solutions.
Divorce isn’t just about ending a marriage — it’s about protecting your future.
In Quebec, only the Superior Court can legally grant a divorce. Even if you were married outside of Canada, your divorce must go through this process if you live in Montreal. You can file on your own, or together with your spouse in a joint application.
But for most people, the real challenge isn’t the paperwork — it’s agreeing on everything else.
What Needs to Be Settled in a Divorce?
When you divorce, the court also has to decide what’s called the “corollary relief” — all the other legal, financial, and family issues connected to the breakup.
These may include:
- How property and debts are divided
- Who will have custody of the children
- How much child support or spousal support will be paid
- Access rights and parenting schedules
- Compensatory payments or lump sums
Sometimes these issues are simple. Other times, they’re not.
Simple Divorce vs Complex Divorce
If:
- You have no children
- You and your spouse agree on everything
- There’s no major property or financial imbalance
Then your divorce will likely be fast, straightforward, and affordable.
But if:
- You disagree on custody or support
- You’ve acquired assets or real estate together
- One spouse earns significantly more (or nothing at all)
Then the divorce will take more time, and it’s critical to have a lawyer who can protect your interests.

Family law in Quebec is complex, and no two cases are the same. Even one unresolved issue, like a pension, a shared home, or conflicting parenting goals, can delay your divorce or affect your long-term rights.
