Introduction
People who need family lawyers are different from people who need other types of lawyers. If you are going through a separation or divorce, or if you need help with child custody or access, child or spousal support, or a children’s aid society issue, your case is about your life. Or, if you are about to get married or start living with some, you may have concerns about your future life.
If you are concerned about how a child is being treated at school, by a children’s aid society or some other institution, your feelings for that child can be overwhelming. How can you get that child the best help?
We can help you. See above for some starting points on this website.
We have represented clients before every level of court from the Ontario Court of Justice to the Supreme Court of Canada. We have also helped my clients negotiate settlements, attended at mediations and arbitrations. We also practice “Collaborative Practice”, which helps spouses with difficult situations but a commitment to resolve them, get divorced without “wrecking the kids.” We also help people who are getting married, or planning to live together, plan for their future life through a marriage contract or cohabitation agreement.
As the decisions listed at the right show, we have also devoted my extra energy to helping kids in difficult circumstances. We have advocated to protect children in several ground breaking court decisions and court cases.
