How Has COVID-19 Impacted The Ontario Family Court System
COVID-19 has affected so many aspects of our daily lives - including our family’s routines, our careers, our children’s education and our finances. Besides the effects it has had on our family’s lives, the virus has also taken a toll on our Ontario Family Court System - leaving families to wonder how they are supposed to proceed legally.
Due to COVID-19, The Ontario Family Court System has become:
- Slower
- Less Accessible
- More Complicated
The decision to separate/divorce already causes high-stress, confusion and chaos. During the COVID-19 outbreak, this tension has only increased as families experience unprecedented complications and challenges.
“How do I file for a divorce during the COVID-19 pandemic?”
“What can I do to speed up the process?”
“How do I know if I’m doing the right thing when it comes to the legal divorce process?”
“Where can I get help?”
These are all questions that our family lawyers at Dueck, Sauer, Jutzi & Noll LLP in Waterloo are prepared to answer for you below.
“What can I do to speed up the legal process?”
The Ontario Family Court System is encouraging families to reduce the number of legal issues externally (outside of the provincial court) with their family lawyer. Learn about our family lawyers Dueck, Sauer, Jutzi & Noll LLP and their expertise HERE.
“How do I know if I’m doing the right thing when it comes to the legal divorce process?”
Navigating the decision to separate or divorce can be extremely difficult and confusing. Knowing whether you are doing the right thing can also be frightening, as the lives of your spouse and children are deeply affected. If you aren’t sure whether divorce is the right answer, speak with our experienced Mediator and Arbitrator, Ted Dueck.
It’s during these challenging and confusing times that the mediator or arbitrator is able to resolve conflict equitably, more quickly and less expensively.
Our family law team at Dueck, Sauer, Jutzi & Noll LLP in Waterloo provide the legal advice and expertise you need to navigate this difficult time of your family’s life. We will work with you and your family to provide the best outcome possible.
