Divorce
Specific areas we can help with include:
- Divorce (Acrimonious Divorce & Asset Tracing) where sensitive handling of contested divorce proceedings make for good outcomes with the least pain and trauma.
- Custody and Child Support. One of the most disputed issues in divorce, we ensure that the child’s interests are always the top priority and then assist the Client to obtain the outcome that is sought.
- Personal Protection Orders (PPO), along with Expedited Order (EO) and Domestic Exclusion Order (DEO) are Court Orders available to protect the applicant and or the children of the marriage from all forms of abuse, including verbal, emotional, psychological abuse and sexual harassment. Legal representation is not required when applying for or even defending against a PPO, but it will be beneficial if you have legal advice or representation especially if a court hearing is imminent.
- Maintenance Orders & Financial Settlement. Both the husband and wife can each be ordered to provide financial support for their spouse and dependent children while still being married and during the divorce or annulment proceedings, AND after it has been finalized. Factors that may affect the terms of the maintenance order include the financial needs of the spouse or the child, both spouses’ individual incomes, and the duration of the marriage.
- Division of Family Assets. Family assets include the matrimonial home, bank accounts, investments, the cars and even furniture. We provide the legal assistance which can be advantageous to prevent conflicts between the parties, facilitate effective communication and reach a resolution.

Peggy and her staff are friendly, professional and meticulous in their work. I highly recommend
PY Legal LLC if you need help with any Legal issues.
Peggy is such a gem and I appreciate all your help. Thank you.
Peggy and her staff are meticulous and professional in their work. Today I walked out of their
office with a whole load off my shoulders. Thank you Peggy and team.
If you're looking for someone professional and experienced to represent you, you can look for
Ms Peggy Yee from PY Legal LLC. She has many years of experience behind her. She also has
a strong professional team who went out to protect me. I highly recommend them.
In better hands I could never be.
Long and arduous has my path been, seeking legal help. From lawyers who simply wish to earn
a quick dollar, to those who aren't aligned with your interests. Having to deal with emotional pain
and legal jargon at the same time can be overwhelming for someone like me. Lawyers who
simply wished to quickly close the case and disregard your needs are abundant in the field.
That was when through providence, I was introduced to Peggy, and from the onset, she took
charge and fought hard for me. Peggy and her team delivered me from a losing battle, to one
where I had hope of living a relatively normal life at the end of the process.
Legal matters can be emotionally draining and painful, but Peggy and her team were there with
me every step of the way. Shielding me from most of the drama, her team always sought to
provide me with advice and answers without me asking for it. Peggy and her team are lawyers
with the biggest hearts, who do their utmost best no matter how bleak the situation seemed to
me.
I am eternally grateful to Peggy and her team, and would highly recommend her services to
anyone who is seeking legal help.
