Family law matters are some of the most personal and emotionally demanding situations a person can face. Whether you are going through a separation, working out a parenting arrangement, or trying to resolve a dispute over support, the decisions made during this period can affect your life and your children's lives for years to come. At Herman Dhillon Law, we approach every family file with the same directness and personal attention we bring to every area of our practice. Clients across Brampton, Mississauga, and the Greater Toronto Area come to us because they want clear answers and a lawyer who stays involved from start to finish.
We assist clients with the full range of family law matters in Ontario, including separation agreements, uncontested and contested divorce proceedings, child custody and parenting time arrangements, child support and spousal support, division of property and equalization of net family property, restraining orders and urgent motions, and cohabitation agreements and marriage contracts.
Every family situation is different. We take the time to understand your circumstances before giving you advice, so the path forward reflects your actual priorities rather than a one size fits all approach.
Ontario family law is governed primarily by the Divorce Act and the Family Law Act. Understanding how these laws apply to your specific situation matters enormously when it comes to dividing property, calculating support, or establishing a parenting schedule that a court will uphold. A separation agreement that is properly drafted and executed can resolve most issues without ever going to court, which saves time, money, and a significant amount of stress for everyone involved.
Where court proceedings are necessary, we are prepared to represent you at the Ontario Court of Justice or the Superior Court of Justice, including urgent motions where the circumstances require it.
In Ontario, the focus in any parenting dispute is the best interests of the child. Courts look at a range of factors including the child's relationship with each parent, stability, and the ability of each parent to support the child's wellbeing. We help clients understand what the courts are looking for and how to present their situation in the clearest and most constructive way possible.
Whether you are negotiating a parenting plan directly with the other party, going through mediation, or heading to a contested hearing, we give you honest advice about your options and realistic expectations about outcomes.
Child support in Ontario is calculated using the Federal Child Support Guidelines based on the paying parent's income and the number of children. Spousal support involves a more detailed analysis of the length of the relationship, each spouse's financial situation, and the roles each person played during the marriage or partnership. Getting these numbers right at the outset prevents expensive disputes down the road.
Property division in Ontario requires an equalization of net family property, which means each spouse is entitled to share in the growth of the other's assets during the marriage. The rules around excluded property, valuation dates, and the matrimonial home are areas where having proper legal advice genuinely matters.
