Choosing your path
Over the past 20 years our team have helped over 3,000 families navigate the end of their relationships. And while everyone we work with is different, there is one thing they all have in common – at the end of their legal process they have a plan – a series of legal documents that enable them to step into the next chapter in their life.
Everyone we work with starts with a sense of confusion – not really knowing what that next chapter will look like. But the thing is, they all get there, whether it is through mediation, a negotiated agreement or with the assistance of a Court – everyone we work with will end up with a document that will guide their family through.
The choice you make on ‘how’ your family moves from where you are today to that place where you have a documented plan for your future is one of the most important choices you will make in your separation.
We call this choosing your path.

Collaborative Practice
Collaborative Practice is a term used to describe a process that assists you to work through the legal issues arising from the breakdown of your relationship in a considered and calm way with the assistance of a team of professionals. Through a series of meetings, your team will help you to set out your goals for your family’s future, consider the options that might achieve those goals and ultimately draft the necessary agreements to get you there.
Collaborative Practice requires you and your former partner and your advisors to enter into a contract that confirms that you will negotiate openly, honestly and respectfully and will do all that you can to find solutions that don’t require either of you to go to Court.
Collaborative Practice works best for families seeking an out of court settlement and who are willing to negotiate in good faith, sharing information and considering professional input and advice from lawyers, financial professionals and child experts to tailor arrangements to their families.
If you would like to learn more about whether Collaborative Practice is right for your family, please book a call with our team here.
