JEFFREY ORDON

Partner

Jeffrey Ordon is a Partner at Anthony Family Law and practices exclusively in family law. He represents clients across Ontario in complex family law disputes, including high-conflict parenting matters, significant support claims, and litigation involving the division of substantial assets and property.

Jeffrey regularly appears before the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice and has experience in all stages of family law proceedings, including urgent motions, case and settlement conferences, trials, mediations, arbitrations, and appeals. Several of Jeffrey’s cases have resulted in published decisions addressing issues including parenting arrangements, spousal and child support, the imputation of income, and developments in Ontario family law.

Jeffrey has been instrumental in the firm’s litigation practice and has developed a reputation for strategic advocacy and thoughtful resolution of complex family law disputes. While he is a confident courtroom advocate, he works closely with clients to pursue practical and durable solutions through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and carefully structured settlement agreements whenever possible.

Jeffrey’s interest in litigation began early. Inspired by the landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision Ordon Estate v. Grail, which arose from litigation pursued by his mother, he developed a lasting fascination with advocacy and dispute resolution.

Before entering law, Jeffrey studied psychology at York University, an academic foundation that continues to inform his approach to family law disputes. He later earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law, where he focused on family law, litigation, negotiation, and dispute resolution.

Within the firm, Jeffrey plays an active role in mentoring junior lawyers and students and contributes to the continued development of the firm’s litigation practice.

Outside the practice of law, Jeffrey enjoys spending time with his family and his two young sons, who keep him busy outside the office.
