Our Legal Services

Mediation

In a mediation process, a neutral mediator assists parties to identify issues in dispute, find areas of common ground and reach a compromised solution. The mediation process can be tailored to the particulars of your family law matter and is not subject to the constraints of the court system.

At JJ Integrative Family Law LLP, we offer full mediation services whether or not you are represented by counsel. Our mediators have the expertise to guide clients in an impartial manner while clients maintain the final say over the terms of their settlement.

Where child-related issues are in dispute, we mediate in alliance with our mental health experts to help parties reach a child-focused sustainable settlement.

Parenting Coordination is an Alternative Dispute Resolution process to assist parties to resolve day-to-day disagreements arising from the implementation of their Parenting Plan/Separation Agreement or Court Order.

The role of the Parenting Coordinator is to assist parents to improve communication, develop problem-solving skills and minimize ongoing conflict.  

At JJ Integrative Family Law LLP, we offer Parenting Coordination services in alliance with experienced mental health professionals to deliver optimal outcomes for your children in the face of parental disputes.

Collaborative family law is a team based process that aims to settle family disputes without having to go to court. In this process, each party retains a collaboratively trained lawyer and then meets to conduct negotiations face to face with the option of additional assistance from financial and family experts. ​This negotiation provides parties the opportunity to explore the interests that are most important to them and to fashion creative and “tailor-made” settlements.

At JJ Integrative Family Law LLP, we are collaboratively trained to assist in resolving your family law disputes in a manner that preserves the integrity of you and your family.

Domestic contracts are agreements that can address issues that may arise in the event of a future breakdown in a relationship or that reflect negotiated terms that settle a family law dispute following a breakdown of a relationship, whether common law or marital.

At JJ Integrative Family Law, we have experience in negotiating and drafting complex cohabitation agreements, marriage contracts, separation agreements and parenting plans.

We help you understand the legal landscape and your options for achieving your goals, and negotiate fair and reasonable contracts that preserve your relationship integrity while ensuring that you are legally protected.

When you and your spouse separate, you are left to figure out the legal and financial implications of ending your relationship. You also have to navigate difficult emotions for you and your children. The practical issues of separation and divorce often create stress for all family members involved.

At JJ Integrative Family Law LLP we believe that knowledge about family law, the legal process and available mental health supports alleviates some of the tensions caused by a separation, and that is why we offer workshops and information sessions to equip you with this knowledge. Our seminars provide information about the family court system and process, common issues facing family law litigants, alternatives to litigation, and the effects of separation and divorce on parties and their children.

At JJ Integrative Family Law, we support family law clients who are facing challenging separations by providing educational talks and interactive group discussions. We will be hosting a virtual and in-person speaker series to engage legal professionals and mental health experts to provide tangible, informational and inspirational talks relating to separation and relationship transition cycles.

Some sample topics that will be covered are: mastering the challenges of co-parenting; separating during the pandemic, how to offer consistency to special needs adolescents; family therapy for estranged children; and life after divorce.
