Property Division Lawyers
MFC Lawyers helps you fairly divide property and debt while protecting your financial interests when a relationship ends.
Specialists in Property Division
When a marriage or relationship ends, dividing property and debt is often the most complex and contested part of the process. Our family lawyers help you understand your rights, value what is at stake, and reach a fair division.
In Ontario, married spouses are generally entitled to an equalization of net family property. We guide you through the calculations, identify excluded and exempt assets, and advocate for an outcome that protects your financial future — whether through negotiation, mediation, or the courts.

Jennifer was very professional, caring and intelligent and resolved my matter in a timely manner. The whole team at MFC Law Professional Corporation was a pleasure to deal with, I would certainly recommend Jennifer and MFC Law Professional Corporation to anyone looking for legal services.”
Clarity on What You’re Entitled To
Property division involves far more than splitting assets down the middle. Determining the valuation date, calculating net family property, and accounting for excluded assets all require careful analysis.
We give you a clear picture of your financial position from the outset, so you can make informed decisions and avoid costly disputes down the road.
Equalization of Net Family Property
In Ontario, married spouses are generally entitled to an equalization of net family property. We calculate each spouse’s net worth on the valuation date, account for excluded and exempt assets, and ensure the equalization payment reflects a fair and accurate picture of the marriage.
The Matrimonial Home
The matrimonial home receives special treatment under Ontario law, regardless of whose name is on the title. We help you understand your rights of possession and value, and protect your interest in what is often the largest asset in the marriage.
Business & Asset Valuation
When a business, professional practice, or other complex asset is involved, getting the valuation right is critical. We coordinate expert evidence, scrutinize financial disclosures, and ensure these assets are properly accounted for in your settlement.
Common-Law Property Claims
Common-law partners do not have the same automatic property rights as married spouses, but that does not mean you are without options. We advise on constructive trust and unjust enrichment claims to help you recover your fair share.
