Scarborough is part of Toronto, which does not have a Unified Family Court. Divorce and property division are handled by the Superior Court of Justice downtown. Parenting and support cases that do not involve a divorce or property claim can also be started in the Ontario Court of Justice, which hears Toronto family matters at 47 Sheppard Avenue East in North York or 311 Jarvis Street downtown, depending on where you live.
Choosing the correct court at the outset saves time and cost. We help Scarborough clients start in the right place, and many matters can be resolved through negotiation or mediation without a court hearing.
