THE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS

Litigation is commonly the means by which the broken-hearted grieve, persecute and exhaust their hatred upon emerging from a failed relationship. The collaborative process is by contrast more compassionate and kinder, and it enables us professionals to work collectively as a team. The collaborative process is a commitment to specific rules and guidelines for negotiation that will strengthen the co-parenting relationship, and that will protect the possibility of friendship or a mutually supportive relationship going forward.

I have developed solid working relationships with accountants, valuators, appraisers, and financial planners, as well as a network of family professionals including social workers, parenting coordinators, counsellors and therapists. We can build a team customized for your specific needs in order to acheive a more efficient, timely and cost-effective resolution.

I really enjoy working with people. I am a good listener. I am creative, progressive, open-minded and non-judgmental. I am committed to coaching, protecting your interests and helping you understand your options in the context of this process.  I view the collaborative process as a commitment to a successful separation and a brighter future.
