What is Collaborative Law?
Collaborative law offers a respectful, out-of-court way to resolve family matters. Lawyers and other professionals work together to reach fair, lasting agreements—without the conflict of court.

We are a group of professionals providing an alternative to family court.
Our Goal
The goals of the Kawartha Collaborative Practice are to assist divorcing/ common-law spouses and other couples to work towards a mutually fair and equitable end to their relationship without the acrimony, anxiety and financial cost that often accompanies litigation, and to protect the integrity and health of family relationships. The Collaborative Practice is not about winners and losers. Our Collaborative Professionals assist the clients to communicate with respect, ultimately helping them negotiate terms that leave everyone as whole as possible.

Privacy is an important dimension of the separation and divorce process. Most couples want to protect their children from the risks of traditional litigation and do not want the details of their separation to become public knowledge. In the Collaborative Practice, your privacy is protected. Only you, the other party, and your Collaborative Team know the details of your divorce negotiations.
