After twenty years of practising primarily family law, I know there is a better way for individuals to resolve their cases rather than the traditional approach of starting or responding to a Court Application, filling our numerous court forms and related documentation, attending several court dates, spending large amounts of money, only to end up with a result that does not seem right, because someone else was making all of the important decisions.

The benefit of taking a collaborative approach with your spouse, along with your lawyers and other professionals (parenting and/or financial) who may be part of the collaborative team, is that you can harness the positive energy from all those involved so that you move forward in a planned and productive way to reach a final settlement that you will feel satisfied with -- one that will be achieved in a shorter amount of time, and will be more cost-effective. You and your spouse will have much greater control over the process, deciding what issues are important to both of you and allowing you to explore the possible solutions to those issues.

I would be happy to meet with you and discuss how collaborative family law can work for you.
