I have been assisting families with transitions and changes in relationships since 1986. To me, it is important to remember that separation and divorce affect many individuals and many relationships. It affects the entire family. What is best for their entire family, including encouraging positive future relationships for all involved.
I want to assist and guide my clients to make the transition in their family relationships as positive as possible. This is not to say that this is easy. It is not and cannot be easy. We are dealing with important, sensitive relationships that are going through transition. It requires an appreciation for these relationships.

Hi, my name is Bev Churchill. I have been practicing in the area of family law since 1986. I have seen, and been involved with couples and the choices that couples have been made to work through these transitions and changes in their relationships. I want to assist and guide my clients, and the couple for my mediation clients, to make the choices that will lead to the absolute best arrangements for the entire family.
The Collaborative Divorce/Separation Process is a settlement approach for resolving areas in dispute in a divorce or separation. In the family law context, spouses who use the Collaborative Process are in charge of their negotiations. They control the way in which their dispute will be resolved.
Each spouse retains a Collaborative Lawyer and, together, they build the Collaborative 'team' that will suit their needs in working towards the resolution of their divorce or separation.The most obvious members of the 'team' are the client, and the Collaborative lawyer, but they may be other members of the 'team' that may be chosen depending on the circumstances and complexity of those circumstances.

Mediation* is an approach for resolving disputes without the use of a Judge or other third party decision maker and, therefore, without Court. A Mediator is a neutral and impartial third party facilitator who does not decide the outcome of the dispute. The Mediator assists the participants to understand the areas of their dispute so that more effective communication can occur between those participants.
Family law legislation or law, and Court procedures, recognize that the Court system is not the best approach to resolve family law disputes. The Court system is, or should be, a place of last resort. It is an approach that should be used by couples for their family in circumstances where they cannot, and, perhaps, do not want to learn to, resolve their disputes themselves.
Hear the Child or Views of the Child. The lives of children are affected by decisions that are made for them and about them. Where they live; who they live with; how much time they spend with each parent and their ability to have contact with extended family members, to name a few. These are all questions that have been asked and answered.
