Wadham Law

About Wadham Law

Wadham Law is a Toronto based family law practice run by its founder, Mbaka Wadham, who holds a B.A. (Hons) and an M.A. in sociocultural anthropology together with a J.D. Before entering law, the founder worked in the social services sector, including research on HIV/AIDS and social determinants of health and community development work at an AIDS service organization. That earlier work, which touched on the intersection of family violence, criminality and HIV/AIDS vulnerability, shaped a later decision to concentrate a legal career on family law. The firm serves Toronto and the wider Greater Toronto Area, along with Hamilton, Burlington and Thornhill, meeting clients in person or remotely.

The practice covers family and divorce law, including contested and uncontested divorces, decision-making, parenting time, child support and Section 7 special and extraordinary expenses, and child protection matters. It also handles domestic agreements such as cohabitation agreements, marriage contracts and separation agreements, adoptions (public, private, international and relative), wills and powers of attorney, and notary services. The founder is a trained Collaborative Practitioner and a member of the International Association of Collaborative Practitioners, working toward non-adversarial resolutions where that approach fits a case. Wadham Law accepts Legal Aid certificates and offers both full representation and limited scope retainers.
