Specialized, not general
We do not try to do everything here. This service is built around one job: foreign divorce recognition.
About
A focused service from a working Ontario family law practice.
Foreign Divorce Opinion is the dedicated service of ABALAW for one specific need: getting a divorce granted abroad recognized in Canada. One job, done carefully and done well.
The relationship
ABALAW is the firm. Foreign Divorce Opinion is the service.
ABALAW is an Ontario family law practice. Over the years, one request came up again and again from people across Canada: a lawyer's opinion confirming that a divorce granted in another country is valid here, usually so they could remarry or settle their records.
Rather than treat it as an afterthought, we built a focused service around it. Foreign Divorce Opinion handles this one matter end to end, online, with the full backing of the firm behind every letter.
Calm and plain-spoken
No legal intimidation. We explain what is happening in language you can act on, at a moment that is often stressful.
Online and secure
The process happens online, with secure document handling. No office visit is required, wherever you are in Canada.
Who prepares your letter
A practising lawyer, not a template, not an algorithm.
Every opinion is reviewed and signed by an Ontario family lawyer who works with foreign divorce recognition regularly. You are dealing with the same firm from your first question to your finished letter.
