It is also a good idea to create or share a monthly budget that considers the likely change in your financial situation from a divorce, separation or modification of custody. We work with our client to develop goals to obtain during the process and for once the process is concluded. If it is safe to discuss your goals with your spouse or co-parent, it can often make the process smoother.

The holidays can be a stressful and chaotic time of year. Gathering this information may seem overwhelming, but we can help. At McGill Law we pride ourselves in giving our clients the guidance, support and attention they need and deserve. If you are contemplating a separation, divorce or custody issue, we would be happy to answer your questions and guide you through the process.
