About Mazinani Divorce Lawyers

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Mazinani Divorce Lawyers, operating as Mazinani & Associates, is a Toronto firm that practices exclusively in divorce and family law. It's based on Sheppard Avenue West in North York and offers consultations in English, Spanish, Farsi, Italian, Cantonese, and Mandarin, alongside mediation locations serving Toronto, North York, and Richmond Hill. Its work covers divorce, parenting decision making, parenting time, child and spousal support, property division, domestic contracts (marriage, cohabitation, and separation agreements), and both party to party and counsel assisted mediation.

One area the firm has built out in some detail is divorce for dentists and physicians, where a professional practice has to be valued and divided as part of the settlement. Its service pages walk through options such as selling the practice and splitting the proceeds, or one spouse keeping it and buying out the other's share, plus the related work of updating insurance beneficiaries and estate documents after a separation. Lawyer Ash Mazinani has practiced at the firm since 2013, holds a B.A. from York University (Dean's Honour Roll) and a J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School, where a Certificate in Family Law Skills and Practice was completed, and is a member of the Ontario Bar Association, the Canadian Bar Association, and the Family Lawyers' Association of Ontario.

The neighbourhood

The firm's office is on Sheppard Avenue West in Lansing, a North York community that grew up around the old crossroads settlement at Yonge and Sheppard, with pre-war houses nearest Yonge Street giving way to postwar bungalows further out. Sheppard Avenue West is also the street that runs east into the Sheppard-Yonge subway interchange, one of the busiest stations on Toronto's subway system and the meeting point of Line 1 and Line 4, which makes the corridor a reasonable one for a family law practice drawing clients from across North York and the wider city rather than a single block.

For a firm handling contested family court matters, that location keeps it within Toronto's court system rather than a separate municipal courthouse. Lansing today is a mix of older couples living in postwar bungalows and younger families who have replaced older bungalows with newly built houses, a combination that reflects the kind of varied family situations, from long marriages to newer households, that a general family law practice ends up seeing.
