Following her call to the bar more than 22 years ago, Nancy Pringle has practised exclusively in the area of Family and Divorce Law.
Her fields include the development of parenting plans (custody and access issues), calculations of child support under various scenarios and other child related expenses, quantification of the amount and duration of spousal support (if any), rights of married couples to the occupation and sale of the matrimonial home, equalization of net family property for married parties, the unique rights of common law partners and divorce proceedings. The newly emerging law on Parentage as a result of the existence of the non-traditional family unit is also of interest to her.
Nancy has extensive experience as a trial lawyer, advocacy in the Mediation process and other “out of court settlement” discussions on behalf of her client together with client representation at various steps in the litigation process. She has been trained in Collaborative Law.
Her approach to each case is results oriented. Nancy’s method is strong on realizing the obvious, identifying problem areas and helping her client understand the legal steps and relevant law. She and her staff work closely with the client to ensure the most effective representation of her client’s interests and overall outcome. It is common for many people to feel emotionally charged and even out of control when caught in the midst of a family law matter. Nancy recognizes this and to the extent possible seeks to address those emotions in a respectful way.
Nancy is a member of the Executive Council of the Ontario Bar Association, member of the Family Law Section of the Ontario Bar Association and member of the Lambton Law Association. She is married and the mother of 2 children. Nancy was born and raised in Sarnia, Ontario. She lives and works in her home community.
