Navigating family law issues like separation, divorce, custody, or support can be overwhelming, especially without the right legal support. At Nussbaum Law, our Brampton family lawyers are here to guide you through every step with experience, clarity, and compassion.
We understand how today’s family dynamics, including common-law relationships and same-sex marriages, can make family law cases more complex. That is why our team offers customized legal solutions designed to protect your rights and resolve disputes effectively, whether you are drafting a separation agreement, pursuing custody, or navigating spousal support.
Let Nussbaum Law help you move forward with confidence through strategic legal support tailored to your unique situation.
Family law isn’t something you can afford to “figure out as you go.” It’s a highly nuanced legal landscape shaped by both federal and provincial legislation-and navigating it without guidance is like sailing through a storm without a compass.
For instance, divorce and related proceedings fall under Canada’s Divorce Act, while matters such as custody, support, and property division are governed by the Ontario Family Law Rules. These legal frameworks often overlap but apply differently depending on your specific circumstances-and your location.
If you’re in Brampton, hiring a family law lawyer isn’t just recommended; it can mean the difference between protecting your future and compromising your rights. Even something as small as an incorrectly filed form could lead to significant setbacks. That’s why legal representation isn’t just about courtroom appearances-it’s about strategy, foresight, and preventing mistakes before they cost you.
At Nussbaum Law, we bring clarity to complexity. Our team specializes in divorce and family law across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area, offering legal support in English, Dari, Farsi, Konkani, Hindi, Marathi, and Mandarin. We believe that strong legal counsel shouldn’t just be accessible, it should be understandable.

Hiring a lawyer can be expensive. Perhaps because I have an M.B.A. as well as a law degree, value for money is one of my key drivers.

Family law matters are civil cases that generally involve issues between spouses, parents, and children. While family courts in Ontario handle a variety of cases, the most common types of family cases are the following:
Our family lawyers assist with divorce, annulments, and legal separation matters. Whether you’re seeking to formally end your marriage or resolve issues without dissolving the union, we provide legal guidance for property division, child custody, and spousal support. If you already have a separation or prenuptial agreement in place, we’ll help ensure it meets legal standards and is fully enforceable in Ontario family court.
We assist clients in pursuing equalization payments in cases involving death, separation, or divorce. If you’re unsure of your rights or obligations, our lawyers can walk you through the financial implications and the process, including what’s outlined in Ontario’s guide to equalization.
In some cases, it may be necessary to establish legal paternity through the courts. This process can impact child support, custody, and parenting time. At Nussbaum Law, we help parents navigate paternity matters while protecting their legal rights, including supporting fathers seeking to assert their parental rights.
When parents are no longer together, determining custody, parenting time, and child support becomes a top priority. Whether married or not, either parent can apply to the court for legal and physical custody arrangements. At Nussbaum Law, we help families create custody plans that align with Ontario’s best interest of the child standard. Learn more about our approach to child custody cases in Ontario.
If you or your child are facing domestic violence or threats, the family court can issue a restraining order to help ensure your safety. This type of order can prevent the abuser from coming within a specific distance of you or your child. You can learn more about how to apply for a restraining order in Ontario through official government resources.
It is also important to understand the difference between a restraining order and a peace bond. A peace bond is issued by a criminal court and serves a similar purpose, offering protection through different legal channels. Our family law team can guide you through the right steps based on your situation.
If you’re looking to legally change your name, our family lawyers can help you navigate the application process through the Ontario courts. Whether you’re changing your name after a divorce, marriage, or for personal reasons, we ensure your petition is filed correctly and meets all legal requirements.
If a child or adult in your care is unable to make personal, financial, or medical decisions, you can apply to the family court for legal guardianship. Our Brampton family lawyers help guide you through the process, ensuring all legal requirements are met with care and precision. This includes understanding the legal steps for appointing a guardian in Ontario through the appropriate court procedures.
In situations where a parent is deemed unfit or poses a risk to the child’s well-being, the court may consider terminating that parent’s legal rights. This step is typically taken to protect the child from harm and ensure their safety and stability. Our Brampton family lawyers can guide you through the legal process, presenting the necessary evidence and advocating for a resolution that prioritizes the child’s best interests.
Adoption is a legal process that establishes a permanent parent-child relationship between individuals who are not biologically related. The family court may grant an adoption if it serves the best interests of the child. Our Brampton family lawyers provide guidance on meeting the legal requirements, filing proper documentation, and representing you throughout the adoption process to ensure a smooth and legally sound outcome.
CHILD PROTECTION
In cases involving allegations of child neglect or abuse, the Ontario Court of Justice oversees the legal proceedings through its dedicated family court system. These matters are highly sensitive and often involve intervention from child protection agencies. At Nussbaum Law, our team supports families through these difficult situations and ensures that legal processes align with the child’s best interests. You can learn more about how child protection matters are handled in Ontario through the Ontario Court of Justice family court and our detailed overview of child protection law in Ontario.

The hourly costs for lawyers, whether in Toronto or anywhere else in Canada, can vary greatly with everything from $100 per hour to $650 per hour. When choosing a lawyer, this is rarely a time to be searching for a bargain. Generally, a Toronto family lawyer making upwards of $300/hour is one who has the experience, and that experience can save you far more in the long run.
Having said that, our lawyers at Nussbaum Law charge anywhere between $275.00 to $440.00 (+HST) an hour, without compromising on the expertise and skills required to deal with your case.
You can choose to consult a family law firm and hire a family lawyer at any time, depending on how urgently you need their services. However, it is recommended to hire a family law lawyer from the very inception, as this would allow them to be well versed with your case and may, in turn, lead to faster resolutions.
In Ontario, Family Law issues are covered mainly by provincial legislation. Divorce Law, in contrast, is technically governed by federal legislation in the form of the Divorce Act, which applies equally across Canada.
We assist clients with divorce, separation, child custody and access, spousal and child support, property division, restraining orders, guardianship, adoption, and more. Our Brampton team is equipped to guide you through every stage of your family law matter.
