Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Caspersz Chegini LLP's office is in a business building on Rutherford Road near Jane Street in Vaughan. The same building houses a COSTI Employment Services centre, which offers job search help and employment services to job seekers in the area.
Lisa Chegini told the Globe and Mail that a volatile real estate market is creating increased conflict in separations, pointing to the unfortunate circumstance of each party's money being held hostage in the home. Kevin Caspersz discussed the same trend with the Toronto Star. It's a subject that sits close to home for a firm based in one of the Greater Toronto Area's fast growing suburban housing markets.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Caspersz Chegini LLP handle child support and spousal support calculations?
- Yes. Family law is the firm's only area of practice, and its FAQ page walks through how Ontario's child support guidelines and the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines are applied, including income, parenting time, and other factors that can make the numbers more involved than a simple table lookup.
- My partner and I aren't married. Do we have the same rights if we separate?
- Not automatically. Under Ontario law, common law status generally requires living together in a conjugal relationship for at least three years, or one year if there is a child, and property division for common law couples follows trust and property law principles rather than the equalization rules that apply to married spouses. Caspersz Chegini LLP handles both married and common law separations.
- Can grandparents get court ordered visitation with their grandchildren in Ontario?
- Grandparents don't have an automatic legal right to visitation, but they can ask a court for access, and Ontario's Family Law Act directs courts to weigh the best interests of the child alongside the value of extended family relationships. This is general information, not legal advice.
- Is a first consultation with Caspersz Chegini LLP free?
- Yes. The firm offers a free 30 minute consultation by phone, video call, or in person at its Vaughan office.
- Where is Caspersz Chegini LLP located, and what area does it serve?
- The office is on Rutherford Road in Vaughan, and the firm takes family law clients from across Ontario, including Toronto, North York, Newmarket, Etobicoke, Richmond Hill, Barrie, Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, Hamilton, Guelph, London, Niagara, Brantford, Oshawa, and Ottawa.
- Is Caspersz Chegini LLP a large firm?
- No. It's a small, family law only practice with two founding partners, two associate lawyers, and a small clerical and intake team, working out of a single Vaughan office.
