Nova Scotia Separation offers legal assistance in Nova Scotia for divorce and separation agreements, parenting/custody and access, child support, property division, and related family-law matters.
Nova Scotia Separation was developed by practicing and former lawyers to fill a gap in the legal consulting and family law services industry throughout Nova Scotia. We recognized that when individuals seek legal information, they often reach law firms only after searching for help online. Through our many decades of combined experience running and working with law firms, we know that law firms and lawyers generally operate with the goal of securing retainers.
We provide free legal information, and our consultants are compensated for the information they provide; however, that compensation is not paid by the individual client.
Law firms typically operate during regular business hours, whereas we operate 24/7. This allows us to assist with urgent or emergency situations and to provide consultations at times that are convenient for our clients.

Yes, you can seek and receive spousal support after your divorce is finalized. However, it is advisable to resolve matters of spousal support, division of property and all other issues related to a separation prior to finalizing a divorce and some judges will insist that parties resolve such issues prior to issuing a divorce order.
