Tremblay Law Office is a full-service family law and immigration firm. We help clients navigate legal problems that sit at the intersection of relationships, borders, and status, especially where a straightforward “Ontario-only” approach is not enough.

Cross-border and inter-jurisdictional family law

A core focus of our practice is inter-jurisdictional family law, including situations where:

• One or both parties have international ties (citizenship, residence, travel, or family abroad)
• A party has insecure immigration status or their status is affected by separation
• Property, income, or benefits are located outside Ontario or outside Canada
• A support payor or support recipient is living outside Ontario (or outside the country)
• Parenting issues involve travel, relocation, or competing legal systems

These matters require careful planning, clear evidence, and practical strategies. We work with clients to identify which court or process is most appropriate, what documentation will be required, and how to move the case forward efficiently and safely.

Family law with a safety-first approach

Our firm has a particular focus on supporting women experiencing domestic violence. If safety is a concern, we prioritize urgent steps, stability, and protection. This includes guidance on safety planning within the legal process, and pursuing court orders where needed to secure immediate relief.

Family Law Services

We provide a full range of family law services, including court litigation and urgent motions. We represent clients in court on matters such as:

• Parenting arrangements (decision-making responsibility, parenting time, and contact)
• Child support (including arrears, income issues, and enforcement steps)
• Spousal support (entitlement, amount, duration, and variation)
• Property claims and financial remedies where applicable
• Restraining orders and other protective orders
• Prenuptial agreements
• Procedural steps to move stalled cases forward

When time is critical, we can assist with urgent motions and fast, evidence-based applications to protect children and vulnerable parties.

International child abduction and mobility matters

We assist clients dealing with cross-border parenting crises and prevention strategies, including:

• Alleged or threatened international child abduction
• Parenting disputes involving passports, travel consent, and border issues
• Coordinating legal steps when a child has been wrongfully removed or retained
• Building preventative measures into court orders and agreements

Mediation support and negotiation

Not every matter belongs in court. We provide legal support before and during mediation, including:

• Preparing a clear position backed by the right documents
• Reality-testing proposals and identifying hidden risks
• Drafting or reviewing minutes of settlement and final agreements
• Ensuring outcomes are workable across borders and consistent with immigration realities

Recognition of foreign divorces and foreign family documents

When a divorce or family order was obtained outside Canada, the details matter. We help clients with:

• Recognition of foreign divorces in Ontario/Canada
• Practical guidance on what proof and supporting documentation are needed
• Related issues that follow recognition, including remarriage planning and status questions

Immigration Services

We assist with immigration matters that often overlap with family breakdown, safety concerns, and long-term planning, including:

Spousal sponsorship applications - We guide clients through spousal and partner sponsorship processes, including document preparation, strategy, and addressing complex fact patterns.

Refugee claims - We assist clients seeking protection in Canada, including preparing the narrative, evidence, and submissions required to present a coherent and credible claim.

Deportation matters and allegations of marriage fraud

Our approach

Legal problems that involve family, immigration, and international elements can move quickly and feel overwhelming. Our approach is practical and client-focused: we identify the quickest path to stability, gather the right evidence early, and pursue solutions that hold up in the real world, not just on paper.
