Deer Park Family Law

About Deer Park Family Law

Deer Park Family Law is a solo Toronto practice run by Renata Kirszbaum, who works exclusively in family law and child protection matters. The office is on Yonge Street in Deer Park, the neighbourhood the firm is named after, and the practice describes itself as serving clients across Toronto and the GTA. Kirszbaum earned a Bachelor of Science with honours from the University of Toronto in 1982, a law degree from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 1985, and was called to the Ontario bar in 1987.

The practice covers divorce and separation, parenting arrangements (what used to be called custody and access), property division, child support, and spousal support, plus disputes that involve a Children's Aid Society. On its site, the firm says it has guided hundreds of people through divorce proceedings. Its child support work includes tracing income a paying parent hasn't disclosed, including obtaining bank records when needed. For property division, the firm draws a distinction between the equalization rights of married spouses and the more limited, harder to establish rights of common law partners. The stated approach is client centred: decisions rest with the client, and representation is described as firm but fair, aimed at swift, equitable outcomes.
