We are a boutique online firm helping couples across British Columbia peacefully resolve the details of their separation.
We know that you don’t want to be bogged down in a lengthy & stressful legal process so we developed a better way for you to separate.
Our entire Separation Agreement process has been carefully designed to promote an efficient and amicable experience for families.
We have been working with clients online since 2016 as a result of the efficiency, comfort, privacy and safety of the process.
Whether you simply need your verbal agreement to be ‘papered’ into a Separation Agreement, or you need help reaching a resolution, we are here to provide the tailored level of support that you need.
Our combination of knowledge about family law, expertise in peaceful resolution, and focus on client priorities is the key to our efficient & amicable Separation Agreement process.
Through our process, you will:
Share and organize your financial documents in our secure Client Portal.
Receive family law information about your rights and responsibilities for dividing property and debt, paying or receiving child support and spousal support, and your parenting plan.
Get guidance with approaching sensitive topics and brainstorming to understand potential options.
Finish with a legal separation contract (the Separation Agreement) if you agree on terms - which the vast majority of our clients achieve!
We choose to engage with our clients by video chat or phone due to the incredible efficacy and low-stress nature of the format.
We have flexible availability up to 7pm so that you can address your family matters with our divorce mediation service when it’s convenient for you.
The legal industry standard of hourly billing creates uncertainty and unnecessary stress for clients. As an alternative, we offer Flat Fee/ Fixed Timeline mediation packages tailored to address the level of support that you need to complete your legal Separation Agreement. See our Flat Fee Packages page for details about pricing & the steps you’ll experience when you complete your Separation Agreement with us.
Our values are built into the very foundation of our divorce mediation practice.
While practicing as a family lawyer in the traditional family law system, our founder realized how destructive the default processes are for most families.
Not one for accepting how things have always been done, she created an innovative new service that is highly streamlined, efficient, and driven by the values of focus, collaboration, empathy and innovation.
We are focused on efficient & amicable separations. It’s what we do.
We believe in respectful discussion & problem-solving.
Having facilitated hundreds of mediated legal Separation Agreements, we know that peaceful resolution is attainable for many, many families.
Rather than you each hiring your own divorce lawyer to negotiate your family matters, together you work with our family mediator, a neutral family law professional who does not represent either of you but instead helps you find a solution that will work for both of you.
We put ourselves in your shoes.
We designed our offerings based on client priorities, including when we meet, how we structure our fees, and the overall flow of your Separation Agreement process.
We think outside the traditional family law box.
The old way of doing things doesn’t work for most families: it’s generally expensive, slow, stressful, and worsens relationships even in relatively simple cases.
We think you deserve better so we created an innovative Separation Agreement service to meet your needs.
Our founder, Christina Vinters, wrote Pathways to Amicable Divorce: Directions for the Beginning of Your Separation to help separating couples avoid the common divorce pitfalls & increase the likelihood of an amicable divorce.
