A Family Law Lawyer’s Wish List

February 4, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever been on a crowded bus or tram and witnessed a disturbance? Did you feel for the victim? Or were you encouraged by the actions of the tormenter? Feeling uncomfortable as a witness unable to leave the situation until the doors opened at the next stop?

Imagine how many extra layers of feelings, alliances, emotions, and other distractions are clouding your focus which held your undivided attention before the disturbance began. Did you forget your train of thought? For how long were you engaged in the distraction from what you were doing?

Drafting Your Own Separation Agreement, Really?

December 17, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

Contemplating filling in an online template for your separation agreement may be quite appealing. After all, it’s a quick and fast way to save money and time. You can pick and chose whatever catches your eye. Selecting the sections you understand and leaving behind the small print. Once you both agree, you’re good to go!

Not so fast.

There are significant dangers to drafting such an important personal document on your own. After years of believing you have in place a good deal only to find that it has no value will come as an expensive shock.

The First Joint Collaborative Meeting

November 12, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

It’s a nerve wracking experience to walk into a lawyer’s office to begin the journey of sharing your intimate marital or common law history. There was no Separation 101 course available in high school and seriously, the thought of ever going through this had not crossed your mind.

After a good discussion of the different ways to proceed, you’ve chosen to handle your private family law issues using the collaborative process. Your trained family law lawyer has been retained and you’ve thoughtfully prepared the list of goals you want to achieve in the process.

The first collaborative meeting will be with you, your lawyer, your spouse and their lawyer. You will have a quick confidential briefing with your lawyer to go over any urgent issues, answer any last minute questions. The location and duration of the meeting is confirmed.

Joint Ownership of Property with Children

November 5, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

Some parents who may be sole owners of a house or cottage are considering sharing the ownership with their young child. While there may be sentimental or economic reasons for doing so, care must be taken to understand the full consequences of such a decision.

Important ramifications such as loss of tax credits for both the parent and child should be discussed with a tax lawyer or accountant.

If the parent is considering protecting assets in the midst of a separation, raise the consideration with your family law lawyer.

Below are the definitions of two common forms of land ownership to keep in mind when learning about some of the pros and cons of taking the step to change land ownership.
