Ontario Family Law Representation
The division of property in the event of a separation or divorce often goes far beyond traditional assets such as the matrimonial home or cottage. In many cases, the results of a property division agreement or court decision can have dramatic long-term effects on the financial well-being of both parties, particularly when business assets are at stake.
At the Toronto law firm of Polten & Associates, we have a thorough understanding of the broader issues associated with the division of marital assets. We represent a variety of clients in these cases, diligently defending their interests and ensuring that they receive their rightful share of assets as parties to any settlement or verdict.
The founding lawyer of our firm, Eric P. Polten, has supervised the writing of the following articles on or relating to the division of property:
- Canadian and German Estate Planning and Conflict of Laws
- An Overview of Succession Law Issues with International Reference to Germany and Canada
- German and Canadian Real Property Law - a Comparison (under revision)
Cross-Border Property Division Representation
In addition to representing clients in the Greater Toronto Area and throughout Ontario, our firm has the experience, expertise and resources necessary to conduct Ontario court actions on behalf of German clients and to arrange the conduct of legal actions on behalf of Ontario residents against persons or corporations in Germany. Two of our lawyers are fluent in German at a professional level, our legal and administrative assistant is a native speaker of and has been educated in the German language, and, in addition, we have ready access to an extensive network of legal professionals in Germany.
