Our child custody lawyers protect parental rights while prioritizing children's best interests. We handle custody arrangements, access rights, and enforcement of custody orders. Our team guides clients through negotiation, mediation, and court proceedings to establish workable custody solutions. We address complex issues including international custody disputes and relocation cases.

We facilitate amicable divorce resolutions through mediation. Our trained mediators help couples negotiate property division, support arrangements, and parenting plans outside court.

Our spousal support specialists calculate fair support amounts using Ontario guidelines. We represent clients seeking or contesting support payments, addressing factors like relationship duration and financial disparities. We handle both temporary and long-term support arrangements through negotiation or litigation.

We resolve complex property disputes involving marital assets and debts. Our lawyers calculate net family property, handle business valuations, and address unique challenges like common-law property rights. We protect client interests in high-value asset divisions and contested property claims.
Family Court Proceedings
When negotiation fails, our experienced litigators advocate in family court. We handle all aspects of court proceedings including motion hearings, trials, and appeals.
