About yourfamlawyer.com

Fogarty, Estate & Family Litigation is a small Toronto practice run by principal lawyer Julia Fogarty, focused on complex, high-conflict family and estate litigation for clients across Ontario. The practice represents professionals, business owners, and individuals working through divorce, parenting disputes, and property division and equalization claims, with particular experience in matters involving significant financial complexity or business interests. It also advises on domestic contracts such as prenuptial, postnuptial, and separation agreements, and on wills and powers of attorney for property and personal care. Services are available in English and French, and the office at 545 King Street West operates by appointment only.

Fogarty's path to the practice included time in civil litigation at a small Toronto firm known for complex negligence matters, then a move into family litigation at a large family law firm in downtown Toronto, where an estate litigation initiative was developed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fogarty served as a bilingual adjudicator with Tribunals Ontario, hearing matters before the Licence Appeal Tribunal, the Child and Family Services Review Board, and the Custody Review Board; several of the resulting decisions remain published on CanLII. Fogarty holds a J.D. from Western Michigan University and a B.Sc. in biology and economics from the University of Windsor, along with further training in family law practice and mediation through Osgoode Professional Development and mediation institutes in Michigan.
