Dealing with issues outside of your comfort zone can be very daunting. Legal issues -whether it be for separation/divorce, transferring real property, dealing with an estate, traffic violations, taxation law, incorporations, criminal charges, etc - are even more terrifying. Just like you wouldn't have an ear doctor perform heart surgery on you, choose a lawyer who is skilled in the area of law in which you need representation.

Divorce is a journey many have traveled, and if you’re going through it, you’re not alone. It’s important to remember that divorce doesn’t define you or mean you’re a bad person. The truth is, it only takes one person to end a marriage, but the impact of that decision can last a lifetime.

There are many people who would prefer not to ever see or hear from their ex ever again.

Unfortunately, it is only possible when you have no kids together. When a parent tries to obliterate any presence of the other parent from their child's life only because of their own personal feelings towards the other parent, this really only harms the child. Unless there are real safety concerns, do not deprive your child of having a relationship with the other parent.

Divorce means the loss of a spousal relationship but for many it means also letting go of cherished relationships that the marriage had brought into their lives. The once great relationship that you had with your in-laws while married becomes strained - either because your in-laws find it difficult to continue the same relationship for fear that their own child may feel betrayed, or your spouse forbids you to continue the relationship.

Litigation (using the court process) is costly. Depending on the circumstances, litigation in the family court could cost anywhere from $6,000 (if you're lucky) to $500,000 or more. Frightening, - but it's happened!

While you are "fighting each other in court" you are being held hostage by a court system that is slow and ill equipped to find you practical solutions.

There are better alternatives to litigation (court action) especially in the area of Divorce/Family Law.

Mediation is one such alternative. Mediation requires both parties to retain a Mediator to assist them in negotiating fair agreements and to resolve their disputes. The mediation is conducted by a Mediator. There are no qualifications and no restrictions currently on who can be a mediator.
