Boutet Family Law: Mediated Divorce Toronto

A crucial benefit of divorce through a mediated process is that the process itself can help uncover solutions that suit the needs of the family. By examining one's own needs and interests, and expressing them clearly, and by truly listening to the needs of the other, it is easier to find a unique solution that works for everyone. Equally importantly, it's less stressful and leads to better post-divorce relationships.

Nathalie focuses her practice on high net worth families and people with family owned businesses. As an accredited mediator and certified Family Enterprise Advisor™, she tailors her approach to these sophisticated portfolios.

The first thing you should do if you are separating is think about what kind of lawyer you choose and what message this will send to the other side. If you hire a lawyer that has collaborative training, the message you're sending is that you want to be well represented, and you want to do it with dignity. You don't want to make your financial affairs public, and you want to keep it in a setting where you have control over the outcome. Thankfully, we have amazingly well-developed methods of non-court negotiation that are well suited for resolving a family file with these goals in mind.
