Divorce and Separation
We're with you through separation or divorce, explaining your rights and obligations and helping you understand your options. Whether you're pursuing a negotiated settlement or a court application, we'll work to safeguard your interests and minimize emotional fallout.
Child Custody and Parenting
We'll provide advice to help you create effective parenting plans and will advocate for your desired custody arrangements. If your matter can be negotiated or must be settled by a judge, we will seek stability, communication, and certain, enforceable custody outcomes.
Child and Spousal Support
We negotiate, calculate, and enforce the amount of child and spousal support you pay or receive based on the governing Canadian guidelines and your actual circumstances. Where earnings change or payments lapse, we respond quickly to seek variation or enforcement, ensuring your financial future is well protected.
Property Division and Equalization
We advise and represent clients on the division of property and debts (including the matrimonial home, pensions, and business assets), taking a detailed and strategic approach. We help you achieve an appropriate equalization result while steering your matter clear of unnecessary expense and conflict where possible.
Domestic Violence Protection
If you are threatened, harassed, or abused, we help you seek immediate legal measures, such as restraining orders and exclusive possession of the matrimonial home in appropriate cases. We'll put your safety and that of your children first and will calmly explain your options and next steps.
Family Court Litigation
If negotiation fails, we advocate for you at every stage of court litigation in Ontario's Unified Family Court, including at motions, conferences, and trial. Our skilful handling ensures your rights are protected and your process runs efficiently, and you'll always know where your matter stands.

Begin Your Family Process in Simple Steps
Get to Know Your Situation
We start with a confidential consultation to hear what’s going on and what you need most right now. You’ll get clear, practical answers on timelines, options, and likely outcomes - no pressure, just support.
Build a Clear Legal Plan
Next, we map out a step-by-step plan tailored to your goals - custody, support, property, or separation. We’ll explain what each step means in plain language, so you always know what we’re doing and why.
Handle the Paperwork and Deadlines
We prepare and file the right documents, keep track of deadlines, and make sure things are done properly. You won’t be left guessing - we’ll tell you what we need from you, and we’ll handle the rest.
Negotiate or Mediate When Possible
Whenever it makes sense, we work toward a fair agreement through negotiation or mediation (a guided conversation to reach a settlement). It can save time, stress, and cost - while keeping your priorities front and center.
Represent You if Court Is Needed
If court becomes necessary, we’ll prepare you, represent you confidently, and advocate for what matters most. You’ll know what to expect before every appearance, and we’ll stay by your side through the final outcome.

Cassandra Hyler
5/5
My lawyer at Sutton Law was a complete godsend throughout the entire process of my LTB difficulties. He was able to collaborate with the other teams representation while ensuring my best interests were always top priority. He walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer questions and help me through the problem. He even went to court to represent me that day so I wouldn’t miss work and stayed there until he heard direct from the judges mouth that my name was cleared.
Mr Alex is a very experienced, competent and knowledgeable lawyer. I highly recommend him for any immigration issue. He initiated a mandamus for the delay of my application for Permanent Residency and I received my PPR within a week after starting the process. Thank you so much for everything.
