The law in Canada considers same-sex marriages and relationships to be equal in every aspect to opposite-sex couples. Therefore, same-sex spouses have every reason to protect their assets and property when either entering into a relationship, or when a relationship comes to an end with a divorce or separation. Same-sex couples also have the same legal rights on issues including adoption, employer benefits, tax and credit benefits, and more. If you are in a same-sex relationship and are looking for legal representation or advice, our lawyers at Confente Garcea are prepared to help you protect your rights.
