John P. Schuman C.S., Child and Family Law

Police officers, paramedics and firefighters and other emergency first responders help people every day.  They go into difficult situations when others are running away.  They work in difficult situations, at difficult hours, and the work often has lasting effects on them.  All of this creates unique issues that first responders must address if they separate or divorce (an event that, unfortunately, can be the product of a first responder’s job).   As a special support to first responders, this podcast will give some guidance to first responders on the unique issues they face in Ontario family law. 

This podcast looks at the special issues that first responder face in the family law matters of child custody and access, parenting plans, child and spousal support, dividing pensions as part of property equalization, the impact of disability payments, and special considerations for first responders in separation and divorce.
