Not every separation needs to become a court battle.
For some families, collaborative family law in Vancouver can provide a structured way to resolve separation issues while keeping the focus on problem-solving and reaching mutually acceptable agreements.
Illuma Family Law provides collaborative family law services for clients who want to explore a more cooperative approach to separation.
Collaborative family law is a process in which separating spouses work with specially trained professionals to negotiate an agreement outside of court.
The process is designed to encourage respectful communication, transparency and problem-solving.
Depending on the circumstances, the collaborative team may include lawyers and other professionals who assist with financial or family-related issues.
