What Our Clients Say
Over the past year, my kids and I have had to navigate some very difficult waters in terms of custody and my children’s preference on living with me at home. None of this process comes naturally, easily or in a package that most people can understand, and we have relied heavily and very successfully on Mat’s experience, knowledge and compassion. We have been extremely fortunate to have finally found Mat in the process of all of this, and he has earned the respect and most importantly, the trust of both my children and myself, which as he knows, is no small feat.
Mat has always provided extremely sound advise even when I’m unsure that I want to hear it, and has personally guided me through the pitfalls that are so prominent throughout this challenging time. I personally attest and recommend Mat for anyone who finds themselves in my position from not only a professional standpoint, but a personal one.

Divorce in Canada usually necessitates a one-year separation, with the timeline varying due to factors like asset complexity, parenting disputes, and court schedules.
Family law mediation offers a voluntary, less formal way to resolve disputes like divorce or child custody. A neutral mediator guides the process, facilitating discussions and helping parties work toward a mutually acceptable agreement. The process includes initial meetings, expression of concerns, and drafting a settlement, which can be made legally binding. Mediation is often quicker, less costly, and less stressful than court proceedings, but its suitability varies by case.
