About BTL Law P.C.

BTL Law P.C. is a Toronto family law firm that drafts separation agreements, prenuptial agreements (marriage contracts) and cohabitation agreements, and it can help file a simple or uncontested divorce once an agreement is signed. Its family lawyers own and run Separation Agreement Ontario, with the aim of opening up affordable agreement drafting to more people across the province.

Almas Tariq founded BTL Law and built its process to bring affordable family law services within reach of as many Ontario residents as possible. The team brings together lawyers and law clerks, support staff and people with a technology background, pairing family law knowledge with modern software. Between them, they have more than 10 years of combined experience and over 500 completed family law agreements.

The firm's goal is well-drafted family contracts for a fraction of what traditional family law firms often charge. Fees are flat, confirmed once a lawyer has gone through the client's questionnaire, and the drafting itself runs online, from emailed drafts to electronic signing over a video call.

BTL Law has offices on Sheppard Avenue West in North York and on Major MacKenzie Drive West in Vaughan, each with its own phone number, and it's open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A free phone call with a member of the team is an easy way to have the steps explained before getting started.

Practice areas

Separation agreements

The basic separation agreement costs $700 plus HST and is meant for very short relationships where no assets or property are divided. At $1,500 plus HST, the intermediate package covers longer relationships with or without children, and a custom-priced global agreement deals with every outstanding matter and account. (Fees as of October 2026.)

Prenuptial agreements (marriage contracts)

A basic prenup costs $1,500 plus HST and suits partners who want a simple marriage contract protecting only a few listed assets; an intermediate prenup is $2,000 plus HST. Independent legal advice is required for every prenup, and the firm provides it for an added fee. (Fees as of October 2026.)

Cohabitation agreements

The basic cohabitation agreement is $1,500 plus HST and fits partners who want no asset division or support terms and have few assets to list. As with prenups, independent legal advice is required and the firm provides it, with fees applying. (Fees as of October 2026.)

Sole and joint divorce

BTL Law handles sole and joint divorces for $900 plus HST, with the government court filing fee (currently $669) on top. Its lawyers prepare all the required documents, including child support calculations, have affidavits signed and sworn remotely and submit the file to the Superior Court. The package also includes the final divorce order. (Fees as of October 2026.)

Independent legal advice

A Toronto family lawyer at BTL Law gives independent legal advice on separation, prenuptial and cohabitation agreements through a fully remote process, meeting clients by video conference, witnessing their signatures and issuing the certificate.

How BTL Law P.C. works

BTL Law doesn't work from template agreements. A lawyer first uses legal software to capture the clauses any family contract needs, then builds in the particular terms the couple has settled on, so the finished document fits their situation. Online calculators let clients pay only for what their own agreement calls for.

Once the questionnaire is back, a family lawyer reviews it and confirms the flat-rate fee within 24 hours. The first draft comes by email, and clients reply with a list of the changes they'd like. When the final version is approved, the team sets a signing date: the parties sign electronically through DocuSign during a Google Meet video call, and the firm strongly recommends that each of them gets independent legal advice on the agreement.

The service suits couples who aren't in conflict, have already agreed on the terms, are at ease with signing virtually and are happy to handle most of the back and forth by email.
