For those couples heading toward a separation, this Initial Joint Neutral Consultation is intended to be held with both spouses. This 60 to 90-minute remote video session is not a relationship counselling session; rather is intended to convey information jointly to each spouse. This information will allow them to make better informed decisions about the process they may wish to follow to get to a separation agreement and to develop informed expectations of what is ahead. I do not provide legal advice. Questions are welcome as this is intended to be a dialogue session. 

During this flat fee session, we will get to know a bit about each other. You will share general information about your situation, your family and other matters. We will explore each spouse’s objectives looking forward. Based on this information, I review the various process options available to you for separation in Ontario. I will review the key benefits and shortfalls of each process available. I will also explain the foundational steps required for the financial aspects of the process. This information will allow you to make an informed decision about your next steps and develop reasonable expectations for what is ahead. Based on your process decision, I can then refer you to appropriate professionals for your consideration.

You each will leave this session with a better understanding of the variety of separation process options, some next steps, and some perhaps some professional referrals. Following this session, should you choose to retain me to be involved in the financial elements of your chosen process, I will credit you 100% of the Initial Joint Neutral Consultation fee on your first professional services invoice.

Use the contact form to arrange a time that suits you both. Limited evening sessions are available for your convenience. The flat fee for this consultation is $250 plus HST and is paid at the outset of the session by e-transfer(s).
