Chantel E. Oshowy-Carvallo

I was called to the Bar in Ottawa in February of 2001. I have practiced Family Law exclusively since 2006.

My passion lies with children’s issues in family disputes; I see great value in providing a voice to children in family matters, as well as providing separated parents with a means to effectively negotiate and implement child-focused parenting plans.

I am a panel member with the Office of the Children’s Lawyer and have been representing children in family proceedings, child protection proceedings, adoptions, openness matters and various ADR processes since 2006. I am a proud proponent of alternative dispute resolution as being the most effective way to assist separating families. I am an accredited Family Mediator with the OAFM; I am trained as a Collaborative Family Lawyer, a Parenting Coordinator, and an Arbitrator.
