Our firm specializes in creating custody arrangements focused on children's best interests, handling sole, joint, and split decision-making responsibilities. With expertise in high-conflict disputes, we craft parenting plans that maintain relationships while addressing safety concerns, backed by extensive courtroom experience in Toronto's family courts.
Child Support
We calculate and negotiate fair child support based on Ontario guidelines, considering income, parenting time, and special expenses. Our services include modifying existing orders due to financial changes and enforcing payments through legal channels, ensuring children's needs remain prioritized throughout the process.

We handle spousal support claims for married and common-law couples, determining fair payments based on financial means, relationship duration, and living standards. Our team assists with temporary support during proceedings and long-term arrangements, including modifications due to life changes like job loss or retirement.
