Can a lawyer consult with both sides of a dispute? It’s a question we hear often.

While a lawyer cannot represent both parties due to a conflict of interest, there can be value in both spouses receiving the same legal information about their rights and obligations toward each other and their children.

Starting from the same legal baseline can help avoid confusion and make settlement discussions more productive. While it doesn’t guarantee an agreement, having a shared understanding of the legal framework can be a helpful first step toward reaching one.

When a loved one is unable to manage their own finances, accessing and managing their funds can become complicated, especially when banks require legal authority to make financial decisions on their behalf.

At M. G. Michaels & Associates, we help caregivers obtain court-appointed guardianship orders, which provide the legal authority needed to manage financial matters.
Guardianship may be relevant in situations involving:

• A child who has turned 18 and is not able to manage their finances independently
• An adult who has experienced a traumatic brain injury
• An adult living with dementia who did not have a Power of Attorney in place

Every situation is different. If you're unsure what legal steps may apply to your circumstances, speaking with a qualified legal professional can help you understand your options.

Meet Shadow 🐾, one of our two official canine greeters!

Shadow may be a young, hypoallergenic pup, but he’s already mastered the art of switching between calm office greeter and full-on puppy mode.

While our furry greeters are always happy to welcome clients, we understand that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. If you’d prefer an appointment without our canine companions, just let us know when booking, and we’ll make arrangements to ensure you’re comfortable.

And for those who love dogs? Shadow and his fellow greeter are always happy to offer a little extra support during difficult conversations. 🐶

⚖️ MYTH vs FACT ⚖️

Myth: If your spouse cheated, you'll automatically get more in the divorce.

Fact: In Ontario, property division and support decisions are generally not based on marital misconduct. There is no financial consequence to committing adultery.

Family law focuses on issues such as finances, parenting arrangements, and legal rights—not assigning blame for the breakdown of a relationship.

Because every situation is unique, it's important to understand how the law applies to your specific circumstances before making assumptions based on what you've heard from friends, family, or online.

What family law myth have you heard that you're not sure is true?

08/06/2026

One of the most common questions we hear is: "How long will my separation take?"

The truth is, every family law matter is unique. Factors such as parenting arrangements, property division, support discussions, and each party's willingness to negotiate can all impact the timeline.

While some matters can be resolved relatively quickly, others may require additional time to reach a fair and lasting resolution.

Understanding the process is the first step toward making informed decisions for yourself and your family.
