Our Expertise
At Kim Wong Family Law, we support individuals and families across a wide range of family law matters—separation, parenting, support, and more. Because every family is different, we tailor the dispute resolution process to each case—whether through negotiation, mediation, collaborative practice, arbitration, or court.
Family Law Services
We assist with both contested and uncontested divorces. We help you understand the steps involved and work toward a resolution that protects your rights and allows you to move forward.
Common law partners don’t go through divorce, but still face legal issues like parenting and support. Unlike married couples, property rights can be more limited. We help common law clients understand their rights and resolve matters fairly.
We help parents create arrangements that serve their child’s best interest. These include where the child lives (parenting time, formerly known as access) and who makes major decisions (decision-making responsibility, formerly known as custody).
We provide advice and representation on child support matters, including entitlement, amount, enforcement, and requests to change existing support.
We guide clients through questions of eligibility, duration, and amount of support. Whether you're seeking or responding to a claim, we provide strategic advice and work toward a fair and appropriate resolution
We assist with dividing property and calculating equalization payments when a marriage ends. This includes the matrimonial home, pensions, and business interests.
A well-crafted separation agreement clearly sets out each party’s rights and responsibilities and helps prevent future disputes. We help negotiate and prepare agreements that are tailored to your situation, comprehensive in scope, and legally enforceable.
We draft and review prenuptial and cohabitation agreements that help couples set clear expectations and avoid uncertainty in the future.
We act quickly in urgent situations, including cases involving family violence, emergency parenting issues, and restraining orders.
Relocating with a child—whether within Ontario or internationally—can raise serious legal and parenting challenges. We help clients navigate relocation laws, respond to proposed moves, and develop parenting plans that reflect the child’s best interests across distances.
We provide independent legal advice for separation agreements, marriage contracts, and other documents—ensuring you understand what you're signing and that your interests are protected.
Dispute Resolution Options
Many family law issues can be resolved through lawyer-assisted negotiation. We help you communicate effectively, explore fair solutions, and finalize agreements without going to court.
A trained mediator facilitates discussions between both parties to help reach a mutual agreement. We can represent you during mediation or provide legal advice in the background.
In this team-based process, both parties and their lawyers commit in writing not to go to court. The focus is on respectful dialogue, full financial disclosure, and child-focused outcomes.
This hybrid process begins with mediation. If no agreement is reached, the mediator becomes an arbitrator and issues a binding decision. It offers both flexibility and finality
An arbitrator—similar to a private judge—hears both sides and makes a legally binding decision. Arbitration can be faster, more private, and more flexible than court.
When negotiation isn’t possible or the matter is urgent or high-conflict, we represent clients in both the Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice with strong advocacy.
