Family LawFamily LawAbout Ken Fraser
Ken Fraser is a partner in Cohen Highley's family law department, and much of Ken's writing for the firm deals with the money side of a separation. One piece explains how a workplace pension can count both as property and as income for support. Another looks at why tax that'll come due on RRSP or pension withdrawals affects what those savings are really worth.
London has been home for Ken ever since law school, though Brampton is where Ken grew up. Away from work, Ken's interests run to family, books, sports and time outside. What draws Ken to family law is dealing with clients one on one and helping them through problems that shape their lives.
Practice areas
Support after separation
Ken handles child and spousal support questions, including when a payor argues that the table amount of child support would cause undue hardship, a claim Ken notes rarely succeeds. On the spousal side, remarriage alone doesn't end support unless the parties’ separation agreement provides for it.
Farms and family property
Ken has written on how section 11 of Ontario's Family Law Act shields an operating farm when spouses divide their property, so a court must look for another way to pay out what's owed before ordering a sale.
