Sometimes it is in a child's best interests to have their own lawyer in family law disputes to offer protection, to give the child a voice, and to assist in determining the strength, consistency and independence of their views. Judges can appoint a lawyer on the request of one or both parents, or if they think it is necessary to protect the child's interests. Sometimes our mandate to represent a child will also involve a private mental health professional.

Family law disputes can be hard on children. When representing a child, our lawyers handle each unique situation, and child, with care and sensitivity. Our goal is to always find the best possible solutions, tailored to each individual child. Some of our lawyers are on the panel of lawyers frequently used by the Ontario Children's Lawyer.
