Lighthouse Family Law LLP

About Lighthouse Family Law LLP

Lighthouse Family Law LLP is a family law firm based in downtown Toronto, with its main office on University Avenue and additional consultation offices in Oakville, Mississauga, Richmond Hill and St. Catharines. Stephen Eaton and Jessica Polis met at Osgoode Hall Law School in 2008 and each spent about a decade practicing family law in the Greater Toronto Area on their own, Polis at an established family law firm and Eaton running an independent practice launched in 2013, before founding Lighthouse together in 2023. The firm has since grown to a team of 14, including eight lawyers along with law clerks and administrative staff.

The firm handles the full range of family law matters: separation and divorce, decision making and parenting time, child and spousal support, property division and equalization, trust claims, adoption, and marriage and cohabitation agreements. Every lawyer at the firm has training in mediation, and the firm also takes on litigation, including domestic violence matters that require restraining orders, plus limited scope retainers for clients who only need help with part of a case. Eaton pairs a law degree with an MBA from the Schulich School of Business and has argued cases at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal for Ontario. Staff at the firm speak Polish, Cantonese, Mandarin and Hebrew.
