How We Can Help
Separation and divorce can be emotionally challenging. You may need to deal with significant financial decisions while also coping with broken relationships and sometimes trauma. When children are involved, difficult decisions may need to be made regarding parenting schedules, holidays and ensuring the financial needs of you and the children are met. You may also be faced with difficult decisions regarding the family home, pensions and other financial assets, and debts. We’re here to help!
We offer a number of services to help you resolve your family law issues in the way that makes the most sense for you. We can help you to decide on the best course of action by considering factors such as the urgency of your matter, the complexity of the issues, the degree of conflict, and the financial resources at your disposal.
Legal Consultation
We generally recommend that you start with a legal consultation to review your issues, get some preliminary advice, and determine which processes are best suited to resolving your matter. We offer a free, initial 15 minute introductory phone call to help you decide the best way to proceed. Full legal consultations are billed at Nora’s regular hourly rate of $400 per hour plus GST.

Mediation
Mediation provides a low-conflict and cost-effective approach to resolving family law issues. It's most effective for legal matters where both parties are committed to resolving issues without resorting to lengthy negotiations or litigation.

Agreements & Uncontested Divorce
If you’ve already reached an agreement with your spouse, we can assist you with drafting Separation Agreements (sometimes referred to as Minutes of Settlement or Divorce and Family Property Agreements), Consent Orders and Uncontested Divorce Application. We can also draft Cohabitation and Prenuptial Agreements.
