We understand the complexities that arise when clients seek recognition of foreign divorces. A recent Ontario Superior Court decision in Rasaei v. Bahman confirmed that a Bahrain divorce may not be recognized under section 22 of the Divorce Act. In this case, the court held that the wife remained entitled to spousal support in Canada because the foreign decree lacked validity under Canadian law. The court further noted that even if the Bahrain divorce were valid, support could still be ordered under the Family Law Act. This ruling highlights the importance of seeking advice from experienced divorce lawyers who can navigate complex family law issues. Whether you're dealing with jurisdictional disputes, support claims, or recognition challenges, our team is here to help. We specialize in guiding clients through the intricacies of both the Divorce Act and the Family Law Act.
