Family Litigation
Our firm represents clients involved in a family law court case, whether the issues are about parenting, child support, spousal support or division of property. Most family disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. Family court is the best option when there is an urgent issue, a safety concern or an inability to agree on the terms of a domestic contract.
Berry Family Law provides strategic and effective emergency legal representation to deal with relocation, domestic abuse, or urgent financial issues such as an asset free or sale of the matrimonial home. We can assist with issues of mobility and relocation, child support, spousal support, equalization of net family property and divorce or, when couples are not legally married, advocating for a fair division of property after separation.
When negotiation or mediation have failed and a stalemate is reached, court is sometimes the only way to move forward. If a judge is making decisions about your children, money and property, you need a family lawyer who understands the law and the realities of modern day life.
In Ontario a court case involves many steps including conferences, motions, and finally a trial. To succeed in family court, not only do you need the facts and the law on your side, you also need to follow the procedural steps to ensure that your case is heard. At Berry Family Law we have years of experience dealing with all kinds of cases in courthouses across Ontario.
Our goal is not to take every court matter to a trial. Our goal is to advance your case at each step and help you reach the best possible outcome. We will empower you with the information and strategic analysis you need to make the important decisions to succeed in court, whether that success is making or accepting an offer to settle or by providing passionate and effective advocacy at trial.
