We are highly experienced in dealing with thousands of divorce cases just like yours, and have achieved incredible outcomes for all of our clients in Hamilton.

If you require more advanced legal assistance during your case, our Hamilton divorce lawyers are always on hand to help assess your options, provide their expert opinions, and negotiate on your behalf to win you what you deserve.

Even the most bitter of divorces is better left outside of the courts than dragging on for months and costing a fortune for both parties.

LEADERS IN CUSTODY LAW

Child custody can be the hardest element of any divorce to finalize due to the very emotional and intimate nature of the problem. In some cases, custody will be mutually agreed upon by the parents, or will be enforced by the court. However, many cases will require some negotiation or to be heard by a judge. Our Hamilton custody lawyers always make it a top priority to keep your custody case out of a courthouse so you can save months and thousands of dollars. Our team is highly experienced in settling custody cases of all complexities, and we will do everything we can to get you your desired outcome.

Even if you have an ironclad marriage contract, child custody is one of the few things that cannot be predetermined in a divorce. Ontario has clear laws surrounding parental access to children, and expert legal advice is often needed to ensure you are not being taken advantage of. Stephen Durbin and Associates has decades of experience negotiating and winning custody cases from all over the Greater Toronto Area. We approach every case with a sense of human compassion and understanding that any case involving children deserves. We do everything we can to minimise the emotional impact your divorce will have on your children, so they can begin the healing process and grow from the experience.

I needed this team

If you are looking for top-quality representation – then Stephen Durbin & Associates is right where you need to be. From day one they gave me peace of mind during a very difficult time in my life. When I had met briefly with Stephen during my consultation, I was told that I could trust them to take care of me with my family law matter. Nazifa Islam and her team – Hope and Chyvonne – were extremely professional, efficient, and completely transparent throughout the entire process. I needed someone attentive. I needed someone to advocate for me and my son. I needed this team – and they exceeded my expectations! They went above and beyond for me and not once made me feel like I was just another “File Number” to them. They were always available when I had questions or concerns, and truly made me feel at ease. Nazifa was brilliant and very knowledgeable; I was lucky to have her by my side. She advised me through my separation agreement, always pursuing not just what I wanted but what was in the best interests of me and my son. The outcome was in my favour. Stephen Durbin & Associates gave me a voice when I felt silenced. Worth every single dime!! I highly recommend
