Which family law areas does Lakhan Tram support?
Child Support
Child support seeks to establish a fair standard of support for children that ensure that they benefit from the financial means of their parents. Child support is guided by the Child Support Guidelines but has many variables that must be taken into account before determining the appropriate amount to be paid. Speaking with a lawyer can help clear up any questions you may have in this regard.

The issue of spousal support can be very emotional and acrimonious. Working with a team with the experience navigating these fact specific issues, is key to ensuring an effective and equitable resolution when claims for spousal support arise. We assist both common law and married spouses in their applications for support in the event of the breakdown of their relationship.

Motion are formal proceedings used to obtain temporary (interim) relief in your matter and can range from simple procedural to very complex substantive issues. We have experience with urgent and ex-parte motions dealing with a wide range of issues from freezing of assets to urgent child relocation requests.

A domestic contract is a contract such as a marriage contract, cohabitation agreement (in the case of parties in a relationship), or a separation agreement that is a type of domestic contract made after parties separate. While you are not legally obligated to have a lawyer to make a domestic contract, it is always prudent to have your own lawyer give you legal advice in the negotiation, drafting and execution of any domestic contract.
What is decision-making responsibility and parenting time?
Decision-making responsibility (formerly known as custody) is about who will make important decisions about the care of a child or children. A parent who has all the decision-making responsibility can make important decisions about a child’s health care, education, and religion. If the parents share decision-making responsibility, both parents must agree on important decisions that affect their child.
What is equalization?
Pursuant to the Family Law Act, equalization is a property regime scheme afforded only to married spouses. Equalization, or equal division of net family property, calculates each spouse’s net family property (assets, debts, and liabilities) at the date of marriage and at the date of separation. Upon calculating each spouse’s net family property, whichever spouse has the higher net family property will be required to pay one half the difference to the lower net family property spouse. In circumstances, the Court will also have the discretion to award an unequal division of net family property subject to satisfaction of several factors.
