Bani Family Law is based at 500 Hood Rd, Suite 400 in Markham, just minutes from Richmond Hill. We help Richmond Hill residents work through separation, divorce, child support, spousal support, parenting arrangements and property division, with clear advice and a practical plan for moving forward.
Family law issues touch every part of life, including children, homes, finances and long-term plans. Working with a lawyer who is close by, focused exclusively on family law, and familiar with the York Region court system makes a difficult process more manageable.
Our Markham office is a short drive from Richmond Hill via Highway 404, Highway 7 and Yonge Street. Whether you live in Bayview Hill, Oak Ridges, Mill Pond, Richvale, Langstaff or anywhere else in Richmond Hill, our office is a quick trip for consultations, document signings and case preparation. Phone and video meetings are also available.
Richmond Hill 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.
Richmond Hill is home to one of the most culturally diverse populations in the Greater Toronto Area, including large Persian, Iranian and South Asian communities. Our lawyers can work with you in the language you are most comfortable with:
