Chad Skinner is a graduate of Dalhousie Law School and a member of both the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Law Society of Manitoba. He has a broad range of legal experience which enables him to offer solid direction on the issues you are facing. His primary focus is on helping families move through the difficult processes of separation and divorce. Chad's passion for collaborative family prac
tice began as a quest to find a better way to serve families in crisis. Having to deal with your matter through the traditional court system can be an incredibly stressful, expensive and conflict inducing process. It is a space where your most personal issues and questions are decided upon by a stranger who has limited knowledge of the reality of your family's lives. Collaborative Law offers a different option for families. It allows them the opportunity to resolve their legal issues, even the difficult ones, in a respectful and holistic team environment. It can help give you all the information you need to understand the consequences of your separation and to make empowered decisions which are in your family's best interest moving forward. It allows for creativity and flexibility in handling conflicts and sensitive issues. It is the goal of this process to ensure that your needs and concerns are heard and addressed in a timely and cost effective manner. It is the goal of collaborative professionals to support you in defining your own separation. They do this by helping your family go outside of the legal ranges set by the court system so that you can make the qualitative decisions that are right for you. Reorganizing your family's future does not have to be a damaging process. With his specialized training and experience, Chad is prepared to be your legal guide through your family's separation and the collaborative process.
