In this article, we will explore how abuse affects divorce and what steps can be taken to ensure the safety and well-being of all parties involved.
We frequently have past clients return to us because they and their former spouse or co-parent are unable to agree upon which school their child(ren) should attend.

However, many times the issue of where the children should attend school is not an issue that arises until years after the divorce.
The collaborative process allows families to maintain control over their divorce.
When we use the collaborative process, the parties make all of the decisions and agreements with the guidance of their professional teams. This prevents a court from having any say.
If creating an agreement that takes your unique family and needs into consideration is important, the collaborative process is likely a good fit for you and your family. Reach out to your team at McGill Law to learn more about this better approach to divorce.
As you’ve learned by now, we love collaborative law. We believe that the collaborative option is not just the better option, but the only option that most families should consider when contemplating going through a divorce or legal separation. We offer both collaborative mediation and collaborative divorce. While the process for those two options differ, the tenants of all collaborative processes are the same. These 4 tenants are the foundation that allows for collaborative cases to be successful and encourages families to move forward with more understanding and compassion.

This year, our theme was “celebrate." I admittedly am not good at celebrating successes. I am one of those people who are always looking at what achievement/accolade/goal we can reach next.
