Biography

Natalie Shelkovsky is a family lawyer at Goldwater Droit in Westmount, Quebec. Her practice is focused on Family Law and includes divorce and separation, child custody and parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, family asset partition, and contested family-law proceedings.

Recognized by Best Lawyers in the area of Family Law since 2027, Natalie is noted by peers in the legal community for her work in family-law matters.

Natalie represents clients before the Superior Court of Quebec in a wide range of family-law disputes, including high-conflict proceedings involving parenting issues, financial claims, and support obligations. Her experience includes matters involving the partition of significant family assets, retroactive child-support indexation involving a parent residing in the United States, income imputation in complex financial disputes, and litigation concerning custody, school choice, and applications related to a child’s surname. She has also acted in long-standing support disputes involving substantial arrears claims and allegations relating to parenting-time arrangements.

Before joining Goldwater Droit, Natalie practised at a family-law firm where she worked on contested family-law matters early in her career. Since becoming a member of the Quebec Bar in 2020, she has continued to focus her practice on Family Law litigation and dispute resolution.

Natalie earned her LL.L. from the University of Ottawa in 2018. During law school, she gained practical experience as a summer student at a family and immigration law firm and participated in a research project examining the protection of children in advertising.

Natalie is a member of the Quebec Family Law Lawyers Association (AAADFQ). She works in French, English, and Russian, and also has knowledge of Spanish.

Clients appreciate Natalie’s thoughtful and attentive approach to family-law matters, where legal issues are often closely connected to personal and family dynamics.
