If you and your spouse agree for a collaborative divorce, upon retaining me, I will send you an Intake Form that includes all the details I require to draft your documents. I will keep you informed of every step of the process until the finalization of the divorce.

The fees range between $1000 and $3000, depending on the situation and requirement of each case. Court filing fee is $260. Fees can be paid in installments.

If you have matrimonial property: You and your spouse each need to book a consultation with a lawyer to obtain legal advice on the division of assets and debt, as well as spousal support, if applicable. Once you both are aware of the range of rights and obligations you have towards each other,you are free to make financial decisions based on what works for you.  If you and your spouse do not agree on division of assets and debts or the custody/parenting/spousal or child support, Mediation is a good idea who can help you to resolve those issues.   Once you have achieved the above, I transcribe your agreements into court documents.

I initiate the divorce process within two weeks of being retained. On average, my clients obtain their Divorce Certificates between three to five months following that.

As long as you both agree, the courts are quite lenient with parenting arrangements that you and your spouse choose. However, the residence of the children and incomes of the parties make an impact on the child support payable by one of you.

Fairness is extremely important to me. In my former career, I witnessed people’s frustration and feeling of helplessness when they were not being treated fairly by the person they hired to help them. I believe in the value I bring, including ensuring that the file moves along efficiently and that  my clients are informed every step of the way until finalization.

In 95% of the cases, no. I will do all the document submission and filing in court for you. My clients are only required to go to court in rare situations and it’s usually in order to unhook a certain piece of the process.

In a joint divorce, your spouse needs to visit my office for some divorce paperwork i.e signing the documents. If your spouse approves the divorce but does not wish to be involved, he or she will be served with the Claim, however their attendance will not be required.
