About ABALAW

ABALAW Professional Corp is a fully licensed and accredited law firm proudly serving clients in Ontario.

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 Ontario: foreign divorce opinion letters confirming that a divorce granted in another country is valid here, usually for a marriage licence application or records issue.

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.
