What is Collaborative Family Law in Ontario?

Collaborative Family Law is an alternative dispute resolution process designed to help separating or divorcing couples resolve their issues without going to court. It focuses on cooperation, open communication, and problem-solving, rather than adversarial litigation.

Key Features of Collaborative Family Law

1. Voluntary Participation – Both parties agree to resolve their issues amicably and sign a Participation Agreement stating they will not go to court.
2. Legal Representation – Each party has their own collaboratively trained lawyer to provide legal guidance and ensure fair outcomes.
3. Open & Transparent Process – Both parties agree to disclose all financial and relevant information honestly.
4. Use of Neutral Experts – Financial specialists, child psychologists, or other professionals may be involved to help reach fair and informed agreements.
5. Child-Focused Approach – The process prioritizes children’s well-being, ensuring parenting plans and custody arrangements are in their best interests.
6. Cost-Effective & Time-Efficient – Since it avoids lengthy court battles, collaborative law is often quicker and less expensive than litigation.
