About Cacciola Family Law

Cacciola Family Law is a family law firm in Richmond Hill, Ontario, serving York Region. Founding lawyer Giovanna Cacciola holds a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School and an honours degree in Environmental Studies from York University. Cacciola was called to the Ontario bar in 2004 and spent over a decade at Epstein Cole, one of the country's largest family law firms, before moving the practice to York Region. Cacciola is a member of the Ontario Bar Association, the Toronto Lawyers Association, and the Advocates Society, and has written papers and book chapters on topics including custody assessments, matrimonial property, and spousal support.

The firm now includes a second lawyer, Christine Lu, also a barrister and solicitor. Cacciola Family Law handles family law matters end to end: domestic contracts such as cohabitation agreements, marriage contracts, parenting plans, and separation agreements; property division involving business valuation and trusts; child and spousal support; and parenting and decision making disputes, including grandparent access and mobility questions.
