What is a family law lawyer?

What Is a Family Law Lawyer?

Family lawyers are involved in the personal aspects of their clients’ lives, including divorce, child custody (now decision-making responsibility and parenting time), alimony, abuse and neglect proceedings, successions, family partitions, etc. A family lawyer is expected to help a client resolve any issue relating to his/her family. Our staffs are well trained and deal with all aspects of family law. We understand the need to listen to our clients and apply an individualised and customised approach to every case.

How Much Does a Family Lawyer Cost in Toronto?

The cost of hiring a family lawyer in Toronto depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and whether the matter is resolved through mediation or litigation. Some cases, like uncontested divorces, may have flat fees, while others, like contested custody battles, are billed hourly. At Nussbaum Law, we offer transparent pricing and flexible consultation options to fit your needs. Contact us today to discuss your case.

What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?

Separation and divorce can be very stressful. It is always helpful to know what to expect and how the process will unfold.

Your lawyer should be well versed in the Federal and Provincial Statutes, prevailing case law, and practice and procedure governing family law.

He or she will discuss with you:

  • what constitutes separation;
  • entering prenuptial agreements or postnuptial agreements;
  • decision making responsibility, parenting time, and child support if you have children;
  • entitlement, amount, and duration of spousal support;
  • the sale or transfer of ownership of your matrimonial home;
  • division of property, such as a cottage or investments; and
  • other issues that arise upon the breakdown of a marriage or common-law relationship.
