You Will Find a Compassionate Family Lawyer in Newmarket

With more than 20 years of experience, our family lawyers, Newmarket-wise and across greater Toronto, have successfully addressed every life-changing legal element raised in family law.
Because the outcome of such cases typically represents highly emotional stakes, your Donnell Law Group family lawyer in Newmarket strives to understand every detail relating to the legal issues, and how various outcomes may impact all involved parties.
With a commitment to the client, but compassion for all involved parties, your family lawyer will formulate a strategy designed to best meet your desired outcome, but also attuned to neutralizing emotional tension between the parties. Our family lawyers in Newmarket stand ready to compassionately guide you through any family law issue you may be facing, and can effectively seek resolution through negotiation or through the courts.
Your Advocates for Child Custody and Access in Family Court
If you are involved in a Markham or Newmarket family court, talk to a Donnell Law Group family lawyer to help you understand your options and make well-informed decisions to secure the future of your family. People who are involved in family court matters often find their legal situation complicated by feelings of grief or betrayal, conflicting priorities and a legal process that is difficult to understand.
Interaction with family court calls for the expertise of an experienced child custody lawyer, Newmarket-wise or elsewhere in the York Region, who is committed to securing the most favorable outcome for you and your children. Donnell Law Group’s child custody lawyers will help you understand the difference between “access” and “custody” from a legal standpoint, and detail other information you need to consider in order to formulate the best strategy for resolving both in the most favorable manner.
In short, “custody” sets out the right of a parent to make all of the most important decisions concerning their children(s)’ well-being and day-to-day living, while “access” specifically sets out how much time each child spends under a parent’s care. Either legal concept can be determined by mutual agreement between the involved parents or by the courts, though mutual agreements typically provide far more flexibility than provided as a result of court order.
With regard to family court, if you believe that your spouse will unfairly seek full custody of your children, or otherwise try to limit access to your children, seek consultation with a child custody lawyer.

Pre-empt Resolution of Family Law Matters with a Separation Lawyer
Why let the government dictate the terms of your marital affairs, when you can customize premarital/cohabitation/separation agreements that allow you and your partner to pre-determine, in part, the resolution of your such affairs before the need arises? Think about it: absent such agreements the government’s laws regarding divorce and related family matters already serve as a “prenuptial agreement” of sorts. Donnell Law Group’s separation lawyers in Newmarket are experienced in all aspects of family law and can formulate an agreement—premarital, cohabitation, or separation—to meet your unique needs.
