The collaborative process offers separating couples an inter-disciplinary way of dealing with separation during a very stressful and challenging time in their lives. It is a process that is safe and supportive that helps to protect the dignity, integrity, and long-term best interests of all family members.

In the Collaborative process, separating couple and their lawyers agree to work together at resolving the issues without going to court.

This approach is based on a team effort - where you, your lawyers and other professionals where appropriate, work together to resolve whatever is in dispute - whether it relates to support, division of assets or parenting of the children.
