Led by Elham Beygi, the Family Law Team at Englobe Law LLP takes a clear, solutions-driven approach. We prioritize negotiation wherever possible and turn to litigation when necessary. Our objective is to resolve family law matters while minimizing conflict, delay, and uncertainty. We tailor our strategy to the realities of each unique family dispute.
We understand that each family is different, and family legal matters can be complicated and sensitive. That’s why we handle issues that affect your family’s well-being with great care. Our lawyers are here to provide you with compassionate guidance and expert solutions.
Divorce and Separation
Ontario law allows divorce based on one-year separation, adultery, or cruelty. Most divorces follow a separation agreement outlining how spouses live apart. After one year of separation, parties may proceed with an uncontested divorce.
Division of Property and Assets
Property division under Ontario’s Family Law Act involves identifying, valuing, and fairly dividing assets and debts. Courts consider contributions, financial circumstances, and fairness when resolving disputes over property and asset equalization.
Parenting Time, Decision-Making Responsibility and Contact
Parenting arrangements are guided by the best interests of the child under Ontario law. Factors include the child’s needs, relationships, and family circumstances. Each plan is tailored to support stability, consistency, and parental involvement.
Child Support
Child support is determined using the federal Child Support Guidelines, based on income and number of children. Support amounts may be negotiated or ordered by the court and can be adjusted if financial circumstances change.
Spousal Support
Spousal support is assessed using advisory guidelines that consider factors such as marriage length, income disparity, and financial need. These guidelines provide ranges, allowing flexibility through negotiation or court determination.
Legal Guidance
Family law matters can be complex and emotionally challenging. Practical legal guidance helps clients understand their rights, obligations, and options, supporting informed decision-making at every stage of the process.
Legal services are available in Persian (Farsi). We regularly assist members of the Iranian community in Toronto and across the GTA. Clear communication is essential when dealing with criminal allegations. Clients who prefer to communicate in Farsi can discuss their case comfortably in their native language, ensuring that important legal advice and defence strategy are fully understood.
Many members of the Iranian community are concerned about how criminal charges may affect their immigration status, including permanent residence and citizenship applications. Because Englobe Law LLP also practices immigration litigation before the Federal Court of Canada, these potential consequences are carefully considered when advising Iranian clients and developing a defence strategy.
Get Legal Guidance Before Important Decisions Are Made
Family law matters often involve time-sensitive and long-term decisions. Speaking with a family law lawyer early can help you understand your options, protect your interests, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Licensed in both Ontario and Iran, he combines strategic precision, courtroom skill, and cross-border insight to guide clients through disputes that often sit at the intersection of law, business, and human judgment.
Vahid began his legal career in 2013 in Iran, focusing on criminal cases with financial dimensions, including white-collar and corporate crime. He represented clients in some of the country’s largest and most consequential prosecutions, including a landmark case exceeding €2 billion in value. His early experience with complex investigations involving fraud, embezzlement, and financial misconduct shaped the rigorous and analytical style that defines his defence work today. In Canada, he continues to apply that discipline to protecting clients’ rights and reputations in sensitive and high-stakes criminal matters.

Since immigrating to Canada, Vahid has also developed a robust practice in immigration litigation, representing clients before the Federal Court of Canada in judicial review and mandamus applications. He has successfully challenged visa refusals and prolonged processing delays, securing numerous positive outcomes. His earlier experience working on cases before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario deepened his understanding of procedural fairness and administrative decision-making — principles that form the foundation of immigration law.
Vahid holds a Ph.D. (ABD) in Oil and Gas Law from Shahid Beheshti University, an LL.M. in Canadian Common Law from Osgoode Hall Law School, an M.A. in International Business Law, and an LL.B. in Civil Law.
