Isabel Herrera
When my spouse and I decided to separate it was honestly one of the hardest times in my life I didnt even know where to begin with child custody and dividing everything. McNeillie Law was an absolute godsend they explained every single step patiently and fought for what was fair for my kids and me. I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process their expertise really calmed all my fears. More...

McNeillie Law made a difficult family law process much easier. Rob was clear, responsive, and supportive throughout, and I felt confident with him on my side.
Cathy
After a frustrating experience with another lawyer, I retained McNeillie Law and immediately noticed the difference. Rob approached my divorce and property division with strategy, clarity, and focus. He explained my rights around equalization and spousal entitlements in plain language and helped me feel more in control of the process. His communication was sharp and professional, and he never escalated matters unnecessarily. I highly recommend McNeillie Law if you want results and a lawyer who truly understands family law. More...

My ex and I were constantly trying disagreeing over parenting time, and it started affecting our kids. Rob helped negotiate a schedule that respected my role as a father and kept the focus on what was best for our kids. I appreciated how he always kept me grounded. More...

Family/Divorce Law Services
1. Parenting Time & Decision-Making Responsibility:
We help parents develop practical and child-focused parenting arrangements. Whether through agreement or litigation, we assist with parenting time schedules, decision-making responsibility (formerly custody), and issues involving parental alienation, safety concerns, or complex parenting dynamics.
2. Child & Spousal Support:
We advise and advocate on all support matters — including guideline child support, special or extraordinary expenses (section 7), and spousal support. We help you understand your rights, calculate entitlements, and resolve disputes efficiently and fairly.
3. Property Division & Equalization:
Separation often requires dividing family property. We assist with identifying and valuing assets, addressing exclusions such as gifts and inheritances, and calculating equalization payments. We handle cases involving homes, pensions, business interests, and complex financial arrangements.
4. Relocation & Mobility:
If a parent wishes to move with a child, or oppose such a move, we provide strategic and compassionate representation. We navigate the legal test for relocation and help present persuasive, child-focused arguments to the court or negotiating table.
5. Domestic Violence & Restraining Orders:
We represent both survivors and those accused in cases involving family violence. Whether seeking a restraining order or defending against allegations, we protect your safety, your rights, and your ability to parent.
6. Motions to Change:
Circumstances change. We help clients bring or respond to motions to change existing court orders or agreements related to parenting, support, or mobility. Our goal is to ensure that your legal arrangements continue to reflect your current reality.
7. Litigation & Dispute Resolution:
Not all matters settle — and when they don’t, we’re ready. We represent clients in court at every stage of litigation: motions, conferences, trials, and appeals. We also support out-of-court solutions like mediation, collaborative law, and negotiated settlements.
