Surviving a breakdown in your cohabitation status, a marital separation or divorce, or navigating child support and parenting arrangements can feel complicated and overwhelming. It may be difficult to know who to trust and how to move forward. We understand and have the experience and compassion to help see you through to the other side.
Getting married or entering into a common-law living arrangement can be a happy and exciting time. The benefit of a professionally drafted prenuptial or cohabitation agreement ensures you begin your life together on a solid foundation of mutual understanding and transparency. In the event of a relationship breakdown, a legal agreement minimizes emotional distress, fighting and legal fees.
Estate planning is not just about end of life planning. It is about honouring your loved ones and sparing them the pain of sorting through your affairs while dealing with their emotions and grief should you become incapacitated or pass away. It’s about clearly communicating your wishes to avoid a situation that can become highly contentious when you can no longer make decisions.
Our experienced team of lawyers is dedicated to family and estate law and will provide you with the highest quality legal advice and service available. We ensure you understand all aspects of the law related to your particular matter, explore solutions collaboratively, and are accessible and supportive throughout the process.

The decisions you make around ending a relationship, choosing to get married or live together, or planning your estate, can have serious, long-term implications for you and your loved ones. The legal process can seem complicated and intimidating, especially if you are under stress. Ellis Legal Group is committed to helping you fully understand the law as it pertains to your situation and explore legal solutions tailored to you and your unique circumstances.
People who come to us for help are often overwhelmed by fear and emotion and unsure about what to do, so our first step is to listen and to understand who they are and what is happening in their lives. At that point we, along with the client, determine whether our services are the right fit for their needs.
Ultimately, our clients know we care about them and their families, which is why they return to us throughout the various stages and events of their lives. While our relationship with clients often begins with divorce or separation, they will often come back to amend any existing orders (alimony, child support, etc.), plan their estate, or to have a new prenuptial or cohabitation agreement drawn up. This long-term relationship increases efficiency, saves money and allows us the privilege of staying connected to our clients and their lives.
