Family Law

Family law matters are among the most personal and emotionally charged situations a person can face. Shreyas approaches every family file with sensitivity, discretion, and a commitment to achieving outcomes that genuinely serve your long-term interests and the wellbeing of your family.

Separation & Divorce

We guide clients through every stage of the separation and divorce process. Whether you are separating from a married or common-law partner, we provide clear advice on your rights and obligations, negotiate and draft comprehensive separation agreements, and pursue or defend divorce proceedings where necessary. Our goal is always to resolve matters as efficiently and amicably as possible — but we are fully prepared to advocate aggressively in court when required.

Custody, Access & Parenting Arrangements

Decisions concerning children are the most consequential aspect of any family breakdown. We assist clients in reaching parenting arrangements that prioritize the best interests of the child, including negotiating parenting plans, preparing consent orders, and representing clients in contested custody and access proceedings.

• Sole and joint custody arrangements
• Decision-making responsibility under the Children's Law Reform Act
• Parenting time schedules and holiday arrangements
• Relocation and mobility applications
• Variation of custody and access orders
• International child abduction and Hague Convention matters
• Child protection proceedings (CAS involvement)

Child & Spousal Support

We advise on child support in accordance with the Federal Child Support Guidelines and special or extraordinary expenses under section 7. We also advise on spousal support entitlement, quantum, and duration pursuant to the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines. We assist with both initial determinations and subsequent variations as circumstances change over time.

Division of Property

Ontario's Family Law Act governs the division of property on marriage breakdown through the equalization of net family property. We assist clients in identifying, valuing, and tracing assets — including real property, pensions, business interests, and investments — and negotiating or litigating equalization claims. We also advise on the exclusion of inheritances and gifts and on the treatment of the matrimonial home.

Domestic Contracts

We draft and review marriage contracts (prenuptial agreements), cohabitation agreements, and separation agreements. A properly drafted domestic contract can protect your assets, define your obligations, and prevent costly disputes in the future.

Urgent Motions & Emergency Orders

Where safety is at issue or a child is at risk, we bring urgent motions for restraining orders, exclusive possession of the matrimonial home, and emergency parenting orders on short notice.
