About Pender Law

Pender Law is a small family law firm in downtown Ottawa, founded in 2018 by Stephen M. Pender. A graduate of the University of Ottawa Common Law Program, Pender was called to the Bar in 1998 and began practice in general litigation before spending 19 years as a partner at Pender & Leef. With over 25 years of experience, the practice now focuses on family law and child protection matters.

The firm represents parents through contested and uncontested proceedings, including parenting time and decision making, child support and section 7 expenses, spousal support, and the division of property and the matrimonial home. It also advises and represents parents in cases involving the Children's Aid Society, including urgent motions and restraining orders. Beyond parent representation, Pender Law represents children directly through its work with the Office of the Children's Lawyer, alongside services such as mediation support and foreign divorce opinions. The office is on the 6th floor at 116 Lisgar Street in Ottawa's core.
