Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the family court for Vaughan?
Vaughan family matters are heard at the York Region Courthouse at 50 Eagle Street West in Newmarket. Both the Ontario Court of Justice and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for York Region operate from this courthouse.
Which office is closest to Vaughan?
Our North York office at 2 Sheppard Avenue East, Sheppard-Yonge subway station, is the most convenient for Vaughan clients. Woodbridge and Maple clients typically drive down Highway 400 or Jane Street. We also offer phone and video consultations.
Do you serve Italian-speaking clients in Woodbridge?
Yes. The Woodbridge community has a large and well-established Italian-Canadian population, and we serve Italian-speaking clients throughout Vaughan. Please mention your language preference when booking.
Do you handle family law for Persian (Farsi)-speaking clients in Thornhill?
Yes. Our North York and Toronto offices have Persian/Farsi language capability. The Thornhill community has a significant Persian-Canadian population, and we are well-positioned to serve Persian-speaking Vaughan clients.
Can you handle a Vaughan family law case that also involves real estate?
Yes, in fact, this is common for Vaughan files. Many Vaughan families own significant real estate in Woodbridge or Maple alongside investment portfolios and business interests. We handle the full file including property division, business valuation, and real estate division as part of a separation agreement or court proceeding.
Is a separation agreement binding in Ontario even if we agreed without a lawyer?
A separation agreement signed without both parties having Independent Legal Advice is at significant risk of being set aside by a court. If you have already signed an agreement without a lawyer, contact us. It may still be challengeable, and if it contains unfair terms, we may be able to have it varied or set aside.

“I had the privilege of being represented by Ms. Jia Junaid and Ms. Nicole Sexton for a complex family law matter involving divorce, property division, and parenting arrangements.
