At Sorbara, Schumacher, McCann, LLP, we understand that marital breakdown and separation can be among the most difficult times in a person's life.

Our family law group is sensitive to how stressful and emotionally-draining the break-up of a relationship is for everyone involved. We appreciate the entirety of our clients' dilemmas and their need to be represented by focused, clear-thinking and knowledgeable counsel. We move quickly for all of our family law clients as we appreciate the stress they are under and the peace of mind associated with a timely response.

Our family law group of lawyers is extremely familiar with the law regarding divorce, child custody and access, child and spousal support, and both simple and complicated property settlements. When appropriate, we attempt to resolve matters by way of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation. Many members of our family law group are trained in collaborative family law and we often assist our clients through this process.

As the situation may warrant, our seasoned professionals are skilled at negotiating and drafting comprehensive separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, marriage contracts, trust agreements, new wills and powers of attorney and many other unique family related agreements.

If litigation becomes necessary, our lawyers have a great many years of experience before all levels of courts in Ontario. We take pride in providing our clients with expert advice and direction in a timely and cost-effective manner. We are here to help you through these difficult times and to resolve the difficult issues associated with the demise of such a close personal relationship.
