Mediation is a way for you and your spouse to discuss parenting during and after separation. Caroline supports you in identifying the topics to be discussed, explaining your preferences, and reaching a resolution on the issues. Caroline drafts your Parenting Plan which is attached to your separation agreement. Caroline now offers mediation to Ontario parents on either a pay-as-you-go or flat-fee basis. 

​

Caroline provides parenting coordination services to parents needing help implementing their parenting plan or court order.  Parents will retain two professional PCs. Under the shared mandate, Caroline will work with parents to stabilize the co-parenting relationship, establish communication routines, and resolve disagreements. When a disagreement can’t be settled, the matter will be arbitrated with the retained PC arbitrator.

Collaborative family law is a way of negotiating a separation agreement. You and your spouse retain collaborative lawyers and commit to respectful, fully informed discussions. As part of the collaborative team, Caroline guides you through conversations about your parenting arrangements and acts as a neutral professional, supporting lawyers and clients during challenging discussions.

Every parent Caroline has worked with believes they know and understand their child’s needs, and preferences. Yet, all parents she has worked with have some disagreement about those very things. Using evidence-based practice, Caroline creates a place for children and teens to talk about their separation-related lives. Hearing from your child helps you bridge gaps in your awareness, shines light on your blind spots, and affirms your strengths.

Caroline offers social work services to individual parents struggling with specific separation-related issues. For example, Caroline will provide guidance on communication strategies after divorce; supporting children through change; working effectively with your lawyer, or introducing new partners successfully. Fees are charged on an hourly rate and an extended health insurance plan may cover the fees.
