About Amanda E. Gaw Professional Corporation

Amanda E. Gaw Professional Corporation, operating as Amanda Gaw Family Law, is a sole-practitioner family law firm in Sarnia, Ontario, in Lambton County. Amanda Gaw handles the three issues that most family law disputes turn on: parenting time and decision making for children, child and spousal support, and equalization of net family property between separating spouses. The firm's current practice centers on Superior Court of Justice litigation, domestic contracts such as separation agreements and marriage contracts, and Voice of the Child reports on a limited basis.

Gaw grew up in St. Clair Township, near Sarnia, and built a career close to home. The path into law took a few turns: after an undergraduate degree and a stretch working at Canada Customs, Gaw took a part time job as a law clerk in a family law practice from 1997 to 2004, then earned a law degree from the University of Windsor and was called to the Ontario bar in 2005. Later credentials followed, including a Collaborative Law Designation in 2011, Family Mediator and Family Law Arbitrator designations in 2013, and a Master of Laws in Family Law from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2016. Gaw has worked in family law in Lambton County since 1996, first as a law clerk and then as a lawyer, and the firm says it has handled over four thousand family law files in that time.
