Persaud Hussain LLP is a litigation-based domestic violence and family law firm. We advocate for survivors of abuse — working to equalize the power imbalance in court, pursuing every available protection order, and fighting to ensure your children are never used as leverage against you. We appear in the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice and the Divisional Court, from our offices in Toronto and Markham.
What brings you here today?
We handle all areas of family law, with domestic violence at the core of our practice. If you are being abused, controlled, or threatened, we act decisively on your behalf and your children’s behalf — in court, and urgently when it matters most.
Domestic violence pervades every area of family law — and we treat it as the serious, life-altering crisis it is. We act for survivors who have been assaulted, coerced, threatened, financially controlled, or isolated by a partner. We apply for urgent restraining orders — without notice to the other side where the court permits — exclusive possession of the matrimonial home, and urgent parenting motions. We appear in the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice and the Divisional Court. When safety is at stake, call us. Our booking page also has an urgent-request option, including weekends. If you are afraid, call us.
Comprehensive guidance through contested and uncontested divorces, separation agreements, and the legal dissolution of common-law relationships — including those involving abuse or coercive control.
We advocate for decision-making responsibility and parenting time arrangements that put your children's safety first. When there is violence or coercive control in the relationship, the children's physical safety is the paramount concern in every motion we bring.
Ensuring fair support arrangements. We understand how financial abuse and economic control are used as tools of domestic violence, and we work toward restoring financial independence for survivors.
Representing parents in Children's Aid Society investigations and hearings. We advocate for parental rights while keeping the safety and wellbeing of children at the centre of every position we advance.
Equalization of net family property and matrimonial home rights. For survivors of domestic violence, pursuing the family home and fair asset division is often an essential step toward safety and stability.
Preparation of wills and powers of attorney to protect you and your loved ones with clear, legally sound documents.
Understand Legal Aid Ontario's certificate program and its limitations. We offer flat fee arrangements, deferred payment options, and limited scope retainers to help clients who need an alternative path to representation.
