Divorce & Legal Separation

In Manitoba, you can file for divorce under the Federal Divorce Act, which requires that:

• Or there's been adultery or cruelty

We help you:

Child Custody & Parenting Arrangements

The court prioritizes the best interest of the child, considering:

• Stability
• Emotional ties
• School and home environment
