About Alibhai Law

Alibhai Law is a solo family law practice in Oshawa, run by Tasneem Alibhai, a barrister and solicitor who has served Oshawa and the Durham Region since being called to the Ontario bar. Alibhai earned a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2006 and was called to the Ontario bar in 2007, and has practiced exclusively in family law since then. The firm handles separation and divorce, decision making responsibility (custody), parenting time, child and spousal support, division of the matrimonial home and other property, and restraining orders. It also drafts separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, marriage contracts, and parenting plans, and prepares wills and powers of attorney.

Alibhai is a certified collaborative family lawyer and belongs to Collaborative Practice Durham Region, the Durham Region Law Association, and the Ontario Bar Association. The firm walks clients through a full set of process options, from negotiation and mediation through arbitration and collaborative family law, and treats litigation as a last resort for matters that cannot be settled another way. It also offers unbundled services, so a client can retain the firm for one part of a case rather than the whole thing.

Who handles what

The neighbourhood

Alibhai Law's office is in suite 207 at 285 Taunton Road East, inside RioCan's Five Points shopping centre at the corner of Taunton Road East and Ritson Road North in Oshawa. The plaza is grocery anchored, with Metro, Dollarama, and LA Fitness among its current tenants, and it sits on the site of the old enclosed Five Points Mall, which shut down for good in August 2017 and was demolished the following year before RioCan rebuilt the property as an open air centre.
