Bani Family Law helps individuals and families in Barrie and across Simcoe County work through separation, divorce, child support, spousal support, parenting arrangements and property division. Our office is in Markham at 500 Hood Rd, Suite 400, and we serve Barrie clients through phone and video meetings, with in-person meetings available whenever you want them.
Family law issues affect every part of life, including your children, your home, your finances and your future. Our firm is focused exclusively on family law, and we bring that depth of experience to every Barrie client we represent.
Much of a family law matter does not require sitting in the same room. Consultations, document review, disclosure, negotiation and many settlement meetings can all happen by phone or video, so Barrie clients get the same attention as clients who live down the street from our office.
When you would rather meet in person, our Markham office is reachable from Barrie via Highway 400 and Highway 404 or Highway 407. Many clients choose to meet in person for key moments, such as signing a separation agreement, and work remotely for everything else.
Family law cases for Barrie are heard at the Barrie Courthouse at 75 Mulcaster Street. Barrie 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.
