About Donna C. Babbs Family Law Professional Corporation

Donna C. Babbs Family Law Professional Corporation is a solo family law practice based in Whitby, Ontario, with more than 35 years of family law experience. The practice works virtually, meeting clients by phone or video and handling documents through secure online tools, with in-person meetings only if needed for collaborative or mediation sessions. It serves Durham Region (Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Port Perry, Bowmanville), Peterborough and Peterborough County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Northumberland County (Cobourg and Port Hope), and since it's a virtual practice, it can work with any Ontario resident.

The practice's focus is helping people resolve separation, divorce, and marriage contract matters without going to court, through consultations, lawyer-to-lawyer negotiations, collaborative law, and mediation-related legal advice (the practice advises clients going through mediation but doesn't act as the mediator). It doesn't take on court cases, arbitration, or uncontested divorce applications. Training includes a course on difficult conversations through Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation and an Advanced Alternative Dispute Resolution workshop offered by the Stitt Feld Handy Group in affiliation with the University of Windsor's Faculty of Law.
