OUR FAMILY LAW SERVICES IN TORONTO
Divorce Lawyer
Our lawyers help you understand your rights, go through the divorce process, and work toward fair resolutions on property, support, and parenting arrangements. We are here to protect your interests every step of the way, whether your divorce is contested or uncontested.
Separation Lawyer
Legal separation often involves complex issues such as property division, parenting plans, and financial support. We provide clear guidance to help you draft legally sound separation agreements that reflect your needs and protect your future. Our goal is to reduce conflict while making sure your rights remain secure.
Child Custody
We advocate for parenting time and decision-making arrangements that prioritise your child’s best interests while respecting your role as a parent. Our team makes sure you are well-prepared to handle custody disputes or create parenting agreements.
Child Support
Child support is intended to provide stability and security for children. We assist parents in calculating support based on Ontario’s Child Support Guidelines, negotiating fair arrangements, and addressing enforcement issues when payments are missed. Our approach is practical and focused on your child’s well-being.
Spousal Support
Spousal support can become one of the most contested aspects of separation or divorce. We provide advice on entitlement, amount, and duration of support, whether you are the one paying or receiving. Our family lawyers aim to create balanced solutions that recognise both financial need and fairness.
Property Division
Dividing property and assets is rarely straightforward. We guide clients through the equalization process under Ontario’s Family Law Act, making sure that assets, debts, and family property are fairly considered. Our team works to protect your financial future.
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement, or marriage contract, is a proactive way to safeguard your assets before entering into marriage. We draft clear, enforceable agreements that outline property, support, and financial rights, helping couples avoid disputes later on.
Cohabitation Agreements
For common-law partners, a cohabitation agreement can provide important clarity about finances, property ownership, and support. We prepare customised agreements that protect your interests while strengthening the foundation of your relationship.
Same-Sex Family Law Matters
Families come in all forms, and we are proud to support same-sex couples with a wide range of legal services. Our lawyers provide inclusive, knowledgeable guidance according to your needs, whether you are marrying, separating, adopting, or establishing parental rights.
Adoption Lawyer
Adoption is a life-changing step for any family. We help you with private, step-parent, or international adoptions while ensuring compliance with Ontario’s legal requirements. Our role is to make the process simple for you and support you in welcoming a child into your family.
Guardianships
Guardianship may be necessary for minors or dependent adults who require ongoing care. We assist with guardianship applications and related legal processes, helping you take on this important responsibility securely and with full legal protection.
Domestic Violence Cases
Domestic violence requires immediate and sensitive legal action. Our lawyers can help you obtain restraining orders, emergency protection, and long-term legal solutions to keep you and your children safe. We handle these matters with urgency, compassion, and discretion.
Mediation
Mediation provides a private and affordable alternative to court. We guide discussions between parties to reach fair and lasting agreements on issues such as custody, support, and property. This approach allows families to maintain more control over the outcome.
Collaborative Family Law
Collaborative family law encourages respectful negotiation outside the courtroom. Both parties and their lawyers commit to finding solutions without litigation, promoting cooperation and preserving family relationships. We use this process to resolve disputes in a constructive, less adversarial way.
Surrogacy
Surrogacy brings both excitement and legal complexity. Our family lawyers in Ontario provide advice on surrogacy agreements, parental rights, and legal recognition of intended parents. We work to make sure the process is handled with clarity and care for all parties involved.
Civil Litigation
When disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, litigation may be necessary. We represent clients in family-related litigation, presenting strong cases in court while protecting your rights and interests. Our focus is always on achieving the best possible outcome.
