What does Henderson Family Law charge for handling a divorce? For an uncontested divorce alone (that is, if all other issues have already been resolved), we offer a flat fee of $2,200.00, which includes filing fees (that we must pay to the court), legal fees and HST. Remember that if the other party chooses to contest the matter or a matter has to go to court, costs can increase significantly. Please call us at our Thunder Bay office at 1-800-488-1182 or 807-344-2400 to discuss your matter further.

➡ The Province of Ontario has the Office of the Children’s Lawyer (OCL), which provides free services to represent the interests of children where there are contested issues such as parenting or child protection.
➡ For older children (generally above age 8), the OCL may appoint a lawyer to meet with the child in a non-court setting to hear their concerns and opinions.
➡ The lawyer then provides the court with the child’s views and preferences so the child doesn’t have to be in court.
➡ Your lawyer will be able to give you full details about child representation. Please contact Henderson Family Law at 807-344-2400 to set up an appointment.
