I am fully trained in and experienced in Collaborative Law. The Collaborative Law method works best when both parties are willing to be open and honest and are willing to engage in a joint conversation regarding the division of property, parenting of children and support. The joint conversation involves joint problem-solving and joint brainstorming options to come to an agreement. Each lawyer in the Collaborative Law still advocates and fights on behalf of their client, although it is not in the same divisive and confrontational manner as court litigation.
Collaborative Lawyers are not allowed to go to court and are not allowed to threaten court action.  The goal of Collaborative Law is to maintain the communication, respect, honesty, integrity, professionalism and most of all, the overall well-being of the family.
Collaborative Law also allows flexibility for the parents to employ other experts to assist in resolving their issues cooperatively.  For example, if there are custody and access concerns and the parties cannot seem to get on track to a shared resolution, a Parenting Plan expert can be employed to assist the parties. Also, if there are financial questions, i.e. a self-employed business and its valuation, then an accounting expert can be utilized to give both parties a clear picture of the asset.
Collaborative Law also works well in estates dispute and workplace disputes.
November 11, 2011 - Remembrance Day, Alberta, Canada
The Ode of Remembrance:
They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, Â
