An association of individual collaboratively trained professionals who support all aspects of your separation.

About Us: Collaborative Divorce Waterloo Region

We are an association of collaboratively trained mental health professionals, financial professionals and lawyers who have chosen to practice in a way that de-escalates conflict, focuses on how things can be better in the new family structure, and are committed to a client centred approach to resolving family conflict and developing a resilient separation agreement that meets the unique needs of the family.

What is collaborative Law?

Collaborative Family Law approaches the separation of a couple in a supportive, non-adversarial way. We provide expert advise through our collaborative trained lawyers, mental health professionals and financial professionals which enable the clients to make the best decisions for their family.

“As I look back on our collaborative settlement, I have no regrets, only gratitude. The process ensured that we maintained respect for each other and our family; stayed focused on our values, i.e. what was important to us; remained reasonable and fair throughout; and navigated a complex, difficult experience in a timely and affordable way. Today, my ex and I are more supportive of each other than ever, which has meant the world to our children. Collaborative settlement helped us get through a very painful time in our lives in the healthiest way possible, and that was best for all of us.” — Anonymous
