Where Vaughan Family Law Matters Are Heard

Vaughan is part of York Region, so family law cases are heard at the Newmarket Courthouse at 50 Eagle Street West. York Region has a Family Court Branch of the Superior Court of Justice, often called a Unified Family Court. That means one court can deal with every family law issue, including divorce, support, parenting, property division and child protection, so your case is not split between two court systems.

Many family law matters can be resolved without a courtroom through negotiation, mediation or collaborative family law. When a court appearance is necessary, we prepare you for what to expect at every step.
