Family Law in Ontario

Family law matters are among the most personal and emotionally charged situations a person can face. Whether you are navigating a separation, working out parenting arrangements, or formalising a support agreement, the decisions you make now will have a lasting impact on your life and your family’s future.

At Nanra Law, we approach family law matters with calm, respectful guidance. Our focus is on practical, constructive outcomes — not unnecessary conflict. We will stand up for your interests while keeping the process as clear and manageable as possible.

Note: Our family law practice focuses on non-violent family matters including separation, agreements, support, and parenting arrangements.

Family Law Services We Offer

Separation Agreements

When a relationship breaks down, a properly drafted separation agreement is one of the most important documents you can have. It sets out the terms of your separation — covering property division, support, and parenting — in a clear, legally binding way that reduces the risk of future disputes.

We guide you through the negotiation and drafting process, making sure you understand every term before you sign. Our goal is to reach an agreement that is fair, practical, and durable.

Parenting Arrangements and Decision-Making Responsibilities

When children are involved, the decisions you make about parenting arrangements are among the most important of your life. We help parents understand the difference between custody (decision-making) and access (time with the child), and work toward arrangements that reflect the best interests of your children while being workable for both parents.

We can assist with:

  • Decision-making responsibility (formerly called custody)
  • Parenting time and access schedules
  • Variations of existing parenting orders
  • Co-parenting agreements and communication plans

Child Support

Child support is a right of the child, and every parent has an obligation to contribute to the financial wellbeing of their children. We help clients understand how child support is calculated under the Federal Child Support Guidelines and ensure the appropriate amount is documented and enforceable.

Spousal Support

Spousal support may be appropriate after the breakdown of a marriage or common-law relationship — depending on the length of the relationship, the roles each partner played, and the financial circumstances of both parties. We provide honest, clear advice about whether spousal support applies to your situation and, if so, what a reasonable amount looks like.

Cohabitation Agreements and Marriage Contracts

Planning ahead is one of the most practical things a couple can do. A cohabitation agreement or marriage contract (prenuptial agreement) sets out how assets and responsibilities will be handled during the relationship and in the event of a separation. We help you have this important conversation clearly and put the agreement in writing.

A Calm, Principled Approach to Family Law

Family law matters are stressful enough without a lawyer who escalates things unnecessarily. At Nanra Law, we take a proportionate, respectful approach — focused on reaching workable outcomes, not prolonging conflict. We are strong advocates for our clients, and we are also honest about what is realistic.
  • We explain your options and their implications in plain language.
  • We set clear expectations about scope, process, and fees.
  • We focus on productive next steps, not unnecessary escalation.
  • We keep you informed with steady, consistent communication throughout.
