Please start with the Opening letter document. 

I do recommend mediation.  However, you might also want to check out the option  of  http://www.collaborativepracticeottawa.ca/  for collaborative family law info….  As noted, I am also a trained and certified collaborative family lawyer.

An excellent resource is http://www.familymatterstv.com/  where a sitting Ontario family law judge gives interviews with family law professionals.  I especially recommend the section discussing family law mediation.

I would ask you to review this information. 

Should this method appeal to you, I would like to speak briefly with each of you separately to ensure that mediation would be a healthy option for both of you.  This process, called the “screening process”, is mandated by Family Mediation Canada.  Call me to arrange for an appointment.

If you cannot open the attachments, please go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ for a free download of this virus free program.

Finally, these note that if you do not respond to this invitation, I am not retained by you in any capacity, be it lawyer or mediator.  As throughout this process, you are advised to timely seek independent legal advice for your rights and responsibilities.

regards,
