Approach to Providing Unbundled Legal Services:

Increasingly, people choose to navigate the family courts on their own (self-litigant) and get help from an experienced family lawyer only at certain times. Litigation Coaching / Unbundled Services lets you handle your own divorce case at a fraction of the cost because you pay only for the legal services you need, and you stay fully in control of your legal costs.

Litigation Coaching reduces your stress because you have an experienced team of Family Lawyers, Paralegals and Legal Assistants guiding you through the process and answering your questions along the way. Litigation Coaching is strongly recommended for clients with property and other family assets, excluded assets, children, and a disparity in income between spouses. It is designed for clients dealing with child support and parenting issues in the Provincial Court of BC, including Family Case Conferences – FCC and greatly beneficial for clients applying for property division, spousal support, and divorce in the Supreme Court of BC, including Judicial Case Conferences – JCC and Applications. Some clients rely on Litigation Coaching before they meet with a Family Mediator or Parenting Coordinator.

Mediation: I do not have family mediation training.
