Dispute resolution refers to a process used to resolve disputes between parties and includes informal and formal negotiation, mediation, arbitration, collaborative law and litigation. It can include combinations of several processes that work for your family situation. It can include individual counselling, support for children, financial advice, parent coordination, med-arb (combination of mediation and arbitration). Our network is committed to trying to help you reach a resolution by supporting you with knowledgeable experts to guide your emotionally, financially and legally.
I work alongside a trusted network of professionals who use family dispute resolution processes to help individuals and families navigate separation or divorce. Each professional brings deep expertise in their respective field, and together we stay informed on the latest developments in psychology, family law, tax, and financial planning. Through this collaborative approach, I ensure you have access to the right support at the right time.
My goal is to help you navigate this period of change with clarity and confidence – reducing emotional, financial, and legal stress wherever possible. Whether you’re just beginning to consider separation or are already in the process, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Children, and their families. This can bring about a completely different outcome from the traditional adversarial approach.
All parties, including children, can benefit from a Dispute Resolution process outside of court:
Sometimes if court is necessary, our family lawyers may be able to help you negotiate a consent order or conduct a hearing.
Dispute Resolution falls on a continuum and there are various ways that couples resolve their differences. Each family is unique and you can decide which process, or combination of professionals will work best for your family. For example, if you or your children need emotional support, a mental health professional may be able to help. If you want a parenting plan, need help to decide on support or division of assets, a family law mediator, lawyer and or a financial expert may be able to assist.
No matter your circumstance, divorce is a legal process with final outcomes. But there are different ways to get to a final resolution. We offer options that allow couples to choose their own resolution instead of having one imposed on them.
