About Anthony Macri
Anthony Macri is a Toronto family lawyer who's been helping families through legal problems since 1999, with more than 25 years in family law. Macri acts for married and unmarried partners alike, including parents of children at any age, on the questions a breakup raises: parenting time and decision-making responsibility, child and spousal support, and equalizing property.
Children are a particular focus. Macri served 11 years as legal counsel with the Children's Aid Society of Toronto and today takes on child protection cases and other family matters that involve children. That work brings a clear sense of what these disputes cost children emotionally and financially, and of the pressure on parents who may also be coping with mental health or addiction issues.
Court is kept for when it is truly needed. Clients learn every route to a settlement, from negotiation to mediation and arbitration. When a case does go to court, Macri appears regularly before the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal, and in 2024 successfully argued a complex international child custody case at the Supreme Court of Canada.
Macri commits to keeping clients informed at each stage and answering their questions promptly and clearly, and to getting back quickly to anyone who writes in about separation, divorce or custody to set up a conversation.
Practice areas
Separation and divorce
Macri first works out with each client what they want from a separation or divorce settlement, then negotiates with the other side's lawyer toward an agreement that meets those goals quickly and without unnecessary cost. If court turns out to be the only option, a practical process built on years of experience carries the case through.

Mediation and arbitration
As an accredited mediator, Macri helps families settle disputes outside a long and costly court case. Parenting questions are often resolved this way, which leaves a judge to deal with money or other harder points.

Parenting coordination
Parents who have already agreed on a plan for their children sometimes need to adjust it when disagreements come up or family circumstances change unexpectedly. Macri can step in as parenting coordinator to revise the plan through mediation and, where needed, arbitration, which can be a speedy and economical way to settle a parenting dispute.
Child protection
When government child protection authorities are involved, Macri, who knows the child protection system thoroughly, advises parents on how to improve their chances of keeping their children or getting them back into their care quickly.
Good to know
By appointmentHow Anthony Macri works
Every family's situation gets its own plan. Macri takes time to understand each client's concerns and priorities and the particular dynamics of the family, with extra attention where children are involved, and then works alongside the client on practical solutions so they can move forward. The aim is a settlement that does the most for the client, while recognizing the moments when reaching an agreement and moving on is the better course.
