Virtual appointmentsAbout Taerk Family Law
Taerk Family Law is a Toronto firm that practices family law exclusively, working from an office on Queen Street West. Amanda Taerk founded and now leads the firm as founder and managing partner, backed by a small team of associate lawyers. The firm's site describes over 22 years of experience in family settlements and litigation, and Amanda Taerk has appeared before every level of court in Ontario that hears family matters, from the Ontario Court of Justice through the Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court, and the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
Taerk's own background combines law and social work: a BEd and a BA from McGill University in 1999, a BSW from McGill in 2000, and an LLB from the University of Western Ontario in 2003, followed by roughly a decade practicing at two Toronto family law boutiques before founding this firm. The practice covers divorce and separation, parenting and support disputes, property division, and domestic contracts, and it defines its high net worth work as cases involving $5 million CAD or more in combined assets, where the team can bring in forensic accountants and estate planners. Clients who want to manage part of a matter themselves can use the firm's unbundled services, which take on a defined task, drafting court documents or a single court appearance, rather than the whole file.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Taerk Family Law's office is at 200-243 Queen Street West, on the south side of the street just west of University Avenue. A commercial listing for the building describes it as steps from Osgoode subway station, City Hall, and the underground PATH, putting the firm inside Toronto's downtown core rather than a suburban office park.
Osgoode Hall, at 130 Queen Street West near University Avenue, has served as a working courthouse since 1846 and now houses the Court of Appeal for Ontario and the Superior Court of Justice's Divisional Court. Amanda Taerk's profile on the firm's site describes appearances before the Court of Appeal along with every other level of Ontario court, so the office sits close to the appellate work described there.
