Family Law,
Every Path to Resolution
A small, specialized team handling separation, divorce, and parenting matters, with negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and
trial advocacy under one roof. We will help you map out the path that fits your situation, in person in Cobourg or virtually across Ontario.
Guiding Families
Through Change
Third Street Law is a small firm by design. Your separation, divorce, or parenting matter is handled personally by experienced lawyers and senior family law clerks who practise family law and nothing else. Because we offer the full range of processes ourselves, we can tell you honestly which one fits your situation rather than steering you toward the only one available.

The Full Spectrum of Family Law
Family law is all we do. A small, senior team handling separation, divorce, and parenting matters, with
every process available under one roof so you can choose the one that actually fits.
Strategic Negotiation
Resolving separation and divorce matters outside of court through skilled negotiation, covering property division, parenting arrangements, and support, without the expense and delay of litigation.
Domestic Contracts & Family Law Agreements
Separation agreements, marriage contracts, cohabitation agreements, and parenting plans, drafted to reflect your situation accurately and to hold up if they are ever tested.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Mediation, arbitration, med-arb, and parenting coordination. Private processes that reach a resolution faster than the court schedule allows, with our own mediators and arbitrators.
Children's Law & Child Protection
Independent representation for children, Voice of the Child reports, and child inclusive mediation, plus counsel to families and to child welfare agencies and First Nations communities across Ontario.
Litigation & Appellate Practice
Experienced trial counsel when a matter has to go before a judge, from urgent motions through full trial and appeals, including the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
Independent Legal Advice
A review of an agreement you have been asked to sign, so you understand your rights and obligations before anything is finalized.
Adoptions
Guidance through the court applications and documentation required to finalize an adoption, whether a stepchild, a relative, or a private adoption.

Clear Advice When It Matters Most
Guidance On the Right Process, Not Just the One We Sell
Because we handle negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation ourselves, we have no reason to push you toward one over another. At your first consultation we tell you which process actually suits your situation, and why.
Straight Answers About Cost and Timing
You will get a realistic picture of what your matter is likely to cost and how long it is likely to take, at the start rather than partway through. We would rather be direct with you early than have you find out later.
