I am a beneficiary of a trust set up by my parents several years ago. The trust holds significant assets but I no longer get along with my parents. Can I force them to distribute my share of the assets held by the trust?

You can certainly ask the Court to allocate an income stream. When it comes to child support (or alimony), the notion of income is broad. The Court has wide discretionary powers to ensure that an individual’s income is commensurate with his or her actual financial situation.

 If you are married, we can also help you to navigate the following issues with a view to concluding your divorce:
  • Parental time
  • Decision-making responsibilities for children.
  • Child support.
  • Trusts.
  • Income allocation.
  • Searches for undeclared assets.
  • Alimony.
  • Partition of family patrimony.
  • Partition of matrimonial patrimony.
  • Complex financial and corporate structures.
  • Compensatory allowance.
For common-law spouses, your separation may give rise to the following issues:
  • Parental time.
  • Parental authority.
  • Child support.
  • Income allocation.
  • Partition of co-owned property.
  • Compensation for unjust enrichment.

Our legal services may include providing advice or representing you in the courtroom. Whether in connection with a settlement process or during a court proceeding, we will always give you an accurate picture of where things stand so you can obtain the best possible outcome.
