Ontario Spousal Support: Why SSAG Is Not Mandatory and Imputed Income Matters
May 2, 2026
When people in the Greater Toronto Area search for a "Chinese family lawyer," they are rarely asking for someone who merely speaks the language. They are looking for a lawyer who understands how Chinese families actually work — the role of parents in financial decisions, the way property moves across the China-Canada border, the weight of informal loans, the pressure of saving face, the silence around domestic conflict.
I am Miao He, a family lawyer dual-licensed in Ontario and China (LSO #83315K). For years I have represented Chinese-Canadian clients through divorce, property division, child custody, and cross-border disputes — cases where a Western-trained lawyer without cultural context often misses the real issues.
The articles below cover the questions my Chinese-Canadian clients actually ask: how parent down payments are treated at separation, whether a marriage registered in China affects an Ontario divorce, what happens to assets held back in China, how WeChat evidence performs in Ontario courtrooms, and much more.
If any of these situations resonate, call **647-930-6688** for a 30-minute initial consultation ($220 + HST). Office in Markham. Serving the Greater Toronto Area in Mandarin and English.
