Family
We understand that family disputes often arise at the most vulnerable moments of your life—whether you are navigating the end of a marriage, negotiating parenting arrangements, or planning for a blended family’s future. That is why our first step is to listen closely to your unique circumstances, priorities, and concerns. By gaining a deep understanding of your goals, we can tailor a clear, strategic plan that addresses both the emotional and financial dimensions of your case.
Our preferred path is alternative dispute resolution: negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or collaborative family law sessions These methods let you maintain control, preserve relationships, and often resolve matters more quickly and cost-effectively than going to court. We guide you through each option, manage expert consultations when needed, and keep you informed of realistic timelines and likely outcomes.
When an out-of-court resolution is not achievable, our seasoned litigators seamlessly transition to zealous courtroom advocacy. With extensive experience at all levels of Ontario’s family courts, we diligently prepare your case drafting persuasive materials, coordinating expert evidence when needed, and skillfully presenting your position before judges.
From the first strategy meeting through to final resolution, we work tirelessly and transparently to advance your interests as quickly and economically as possible.
Our legal team provides expertise in all areas of family law, including:
- Custody and access.
- Child support.
- Spousal support.
- Property division.
- Cohabitation agreements.
- Marriage contracts.
- Separation agreements.
- Divorce.

No matter how complex your situation, Sutherland Law combines innovation, experience, and compassion to guide you toward the best possible outcome.
