A Family Law Lawyer With Decades Of Experience Offering Extensive Services

When it comes to divorce, no one has it all figured out. Our office has been in practice for more than 47 years, and those decades have been a steady period of training. Ending your marriage or getting a new marriage off on the right foot is not simple. Even if you have started your own legal research, you cannot do this alone — and you do not need to. We are here to help.

Our practice is located in Vaughan, Ontario, under the name of Judith Holzman Law Offices.

Firm Practice Areas

The firm’s main work for clients is family and its related issues, including divorce and also including:

• Child custody
• Child support
• Spousal support
• Property division (also known as “equalization”)
• Separation agreements
• Marriage Contracts 
• Cohabitation Agreements

While it is easy to put these areas into a list, in reality, often more than one area comes into play when a client seeks our advice. Resolving child custody, (parenting responsibilities and parenting time)  necessarily works hand in hand with finalizing child support. Spousal support and property division are often connected issues. Our clients receive comprehensive guidance about how to conclude their marriage and move onto the next phase of their lives, or commence a marriage and do it properly protecting themselves. Indeed, that means also looking at a stage before marriage where the parties may be living together and wish to have a Cohabitation Agreement which by operation of law, if the parties marry, becomes a Marriage Contract.

Where there is a divorce, we favour settling it quickly, without unnecessary stress or expense, and in the best interests of our client. Staying out of court is one of the best ways to achieve this. We will litigate if necessary, but most people are best served by alternative options. Collaborative law, mediation and arbitration are all resolution-focused options we encourage most clients to pursue.

Legal Advice For Committed Relationships

As stated above, starting a marriage or cohabitation with a legal agreement can help preserve the long-term health of your relationship. We handle cohabitation agreements and marriage contracts (also known as “prenups”) for partners who want to agree upon property, support and other issues during their relationship and if it comes to an end.
