About Donald W. Kilpatrick, Barrister & Solicitor

Donald W. Kilpatrick, Barrister and Solicitor, is a sole practitioner in London, Ontario, working from an office at 186 Albert Street. Kilpatrick has been licensed to practice law in Ontario, as a member of the Law Society of Ontario, since being called to the bar in 1976, and has practiced continuously in London since then. The practice is limited to family law, covering divorce, child support, spousal support, the equalization of net family property, separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, and marriage contracts. Kilpatrick also prepares wills for clients.

Kilpatrick's stated preference is to resolve family law disputes through negotiation and settlement, working directly with the other party's lawyer or with a mediator, rather than going to court. Court is not always avoidable, for instance when a spouse starts a family court claim, and Kilpatrick represents clients in bringing or defending claims before the court when that becomes necessary. Over the course of the practice, Kilpatrick has represented men, women, and children in family law matters.
