Move Forward, Affordably.

We offer family law services for clients on a budget, who prefer collaborative agreements over spending thousands in court. Some of the solutions we offer include…

Cohabitation & Marriage

Affordable Agreements

You may never need it, but when you’re on the same page as your partner, it’s a good time to decide what would be fair if you ever choose to part ways. Cohabitation and Marriage agreements can result in the fair arrangement of your assets—especially when moving on to the next chapter of your life, and when there are children involved. We can help you prepare for the future, so you can focus on the present, and each other.

Limited Scope Representation

“Step-By-Step” Legal Services

You don’t need to retain an expensive, full-time lawyer for a family law issue. With Limited Scope Representation (or “Legal Coaching”), you can retain a lawyer for only the services you need, while you do what you can yourself. Some of the “piecemeal” services we offer are: legal advice and procedure assistance, legal research and analysis, reviewing and drafting court documents for you to file and serve, evaluating settlement options, and ILA (Independent Legal Advice). Contact us to see if we can meet your legal needs.

Separation & Divorce

Moving on, on a budget

First, we’ll listen. Then, we’ll suggest strategies to defuse any tension and promote objective thinking—to lead to an expedited conclusion. Many people (especially after a long relationship) are deeply hurt, and spend years, and thousands of dollars, before realizing that there are no winners in a legal “contest” fuelled by emotion. Our separation and divorce services deal with the division of property, child and spousal support, custody, and access—providing clarity for the future in the least adversarial way possible. We don’t go to court (we refer to experienced trial lawyers, in that case), so we take a collaborative approach among parties. We have no incentive to do legal “battle” while you foot the bill.

Collaborative Law

Problem solving thRough participation

In Collaborative Law, the parties themselves are in control of coming to a fair, agreed-upon resolution that works for them. This approach provides a safe environment to develop ideas and seek satisfactory resolutions, which can result in a negotiated settlement, rather than a litigated one. Collaboration is a means to achieve a result that works for your family, without having third-party representatives make lasting decisions for you.
