About Clayton R. Spencer
Clayton R. Spencer runs a sole family law practice in Whitby, Ontario, and has served Durham Region since being called to the Ontario bar in 1998. The practice covers divorce and separation, custody and access, child and spousal support, property division, and child protection matters, along with collaborative family law and arbitration. Spencer earned a Bachelor of Arts with Distinction in history from the University of Toronto, then completed a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Western Ontario, where the coursework included a Dean's Honour List placement and the Granger Prize in Family Law. Before opening the practice, Spencer spent a year as a law clerk at the Ontario Court of Justice, doing legal research across family, criminal, and civil rotations.
The practice pairs courtroom experience with alternative dispute resolution. Spencer completed Level II Collaborative Family Law training in 2007 and was appointed a Dispute Resolution Officer for the Oshawa Family Court in 2011. Spencer has also sat on Durham Region's personal rights panel for the Office of the Children's Lawyer since 2009.
