We guide you through divorce or separation with clear advice, realistic expectations, and a plan that protects your finances and parenting goals. Our focus is reducing conflict, easing stress, and moving you toward a workable resolution.
Child Custody and Access
We help you secure parenting arrangements that prioritize your child's best interests while protecting your relationship with them. From negotiating schedules to handling disputes in court, we advocate firmly so you feel heard and supported.
Child and Spousal Support
We calculate, negotiate, and pursue fair support based on income, expenses, and your family's needs under Ontario guidelines. Whether you're seeking support or responding to a claim, we work to achieve stable, enforceable outcomes.
Property Division and Equalization
We help you identify, value, and divide family property fairly, including the matrimonial home, pensions, and debts. With practical guidance and strong negotiation, we protect what you've built and aim to avoid costly surprises later.

We draft and review marriage contracts and cohabitation agreements that clarify expectations and safeguard your assets. By addressing finances and support early, you reduce uncertainty, prevent future conflict, and protect your family's long-term stability.

Begin Your Family Process in Simple Steps
Initial Consultation
We start with a confidential chat to understand what’s happening and what you need most. You’ll leave with clear next steps, realistic expectations, and answers to the questions you’re probably already Googling.
Review & Goal Setting
We gather the key details - documents, timelines, and priorities - and confirm your goals (kids, property, support). If anything’s missing, we’ll tell you exactly what to pull together so nothing blindsides you later.
Strategy & Options
We map out your best path forward, including negotiation, mediation (a guided settlement meeting), or court if needed. We’ll explain pros, costs, and timing in plain language so you can choose confidently.
Negotiation & Paperwork
We handle communication with the other side, draft and review agreements, and keep everything organized. You’ll get updates you can understand, and we’ll flag any risks before you sign anything.
Resolution & Ongoing Support
Once things are settled - by agreement or court order - we make sure the terms are clear and workable. If issues pop up later (changes, enforcement, updates), you can come back and we’ll guide you through.

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.
