If you're facing the difficult decision of divorce, you may be wondering if collaborative divorce is the best option for your situation.

Collaborative divorce focuses on resolving disputes respectfully and without going to court. It allows both parties to work together with their lawyers and other professionals to find solutions that benefit the entire family.

But how do you know if it's right for you? Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
💬 Do you want to maintain a respectful, open dialogue with your spouse during the process?
💬 Are you willing to work toward a fair outcome without the stress of litigation?
💬 Do you want more control over the terms of your divorce rather than leaving decisions to a judge?

If you answered "yes" to these, collaborative divorce might be a good fit for you.

To learn more, visit our website for in-depth guidance and professional advice on whether this approach aligns with your situation.

I know rules for a living. My job is often to use those rules to get to some kind of truth.

So US gymnast Jordan Chiles comes in 5th, appeals the difficulty scale and wins, then is denied 3rd due to an alleged 3 second delay of the appeal.

So Chiles is the 3rd best in the world. Romania is arguing that no, their athlete is 3rd best because of a technical (and arguably false) time delay.

Rules are aimed at procedural fairness, perhaps to get to the truth. Is Chiles not the 3rd best because someone was 3 seconds late pointing that out?

I'm not opposed to drinking, per se. I recognize it as a social lubricant which the studies don't seem to reflect. That said, I always thought the 15 drink/week recommendation seemed really high.

Make informed choices about your health when it comes to alcohol.

I am quite saddened by this news.

The FAM Network, formerly SafePet, helps abused women flee domestic violence by fostering their pets (safety of pets is a motivation to stay in abusive relationship). A worthy cause, to be sure.

How serious is it about domestic violence?

To raise money, it's auctioning, among other things, convicted ra**st (and facing a $5M civil suit for r**e again) Mike Tyson's autographed 'punch out' something something.

A gala is held at a casino (ignoring the link between gambling and DV).

I think the organization is a vanity project.

Happy Father's Day!

I see how important fathers are to the children of families I'm involved in through my Family Law and Collaborative Family Process practise.

I'm proud that I act/acted for loving, involved and dedicated dads.

Collaborative Divorce is a process designed to navigate separation and divorce while avoiding adversarial, time-consuming and stressful impacts of going to court. It is an opportunity to invest in your family, not your fight.

Common law relationships in Ontario are not the same as marriage when it comes to a separation. A common-law spouse is not entitled to receive the value of the other spouse’s property by right.

“My common-law partner just cheated on me, so we’re breaking up. Will he still get half the house, even though I’m the one who put up the down payment and paid most of the mortgage?”
