Separation and divorce in Ontario touch a wide range of issues at once - parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, dividing property, and sometimes a business or pension that complicates things further. Most people going through it are dealing with a lawyer for the first time, at a moment that's already stressful, which makes finding someone you trust more important than usual.
Family lawyers vary quite a bit in approach: some push hard toward mediation and a negotiated settlement, others are built for contested litigation when that's what a situation calls for. Reading a firm's reviews is often the fastest way to get a sense of which kind you're looking at. The firms below all practice family law in Ontario; search by your city to find one close enough for in-person meetings when you need them.
