FAMILY LAW REPRESENTATION
I recognize the stress and financial realties in the breakdown of a relationship. In my practice, I strive to resolve family law issues quickly and with as little financial and emotional cost as possible.
My approach is generally to explore the possibility of a negotiated settlement before considering Court action. There are many avenues to negotiating a settlement. This negotiation can take place between the lawyers or in meetings between the parties with their lawyers. In some cases, a mediator can also be of great assistance in bringing the parties to a settlement. Whatever route of negotiation is chosen, I will guide and protect the rights of my clients throughout the process.
I do not believe that one’s rights should be sacrificed simply for expedience. In some instances, negotiation is not possible and the matter must be resolved in court.
I have extensive litigation experience with over 10 years of regular court appearances. I have represented clients in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice at every stage of their litigation. I have appeared in court on the issues of custody, access, child and spousal support, property division, divorce and variation applications for both married and common law spouses.
