Prince George Collaborative Professional Group Team Members

Collaborative Lawyers

The following lawyers are lawyers with experience in family law who are available to act as your independent legal advisers. Both parties will need to have their own collaborative lawyer, as one lawyer cannot act for both parties.

Divorce Coaches

The following divorce coaches have experience in individual and family counseling and also have an interest in collaborative family law. The role of the divorce coach is to provide professional emotional support to you throughout the collaborative law process. Divorce coaches can also provide additional supports including assisting you to work toward your post-separation parenting plans.

Child Specialists

The Child Specialists are experienced therapists and counselors who have worked extensively with young children and teens. They will talk with your children to help them identify and express what they are feeling about their parents' conflict and separation. The child specialist can inform the Parent Plan process by talking with the divorce coach(es) and parents about what is to the best interests of the children according to their specific ages & stages.

 

Financial Specialists

The task of this person is twofold -- one part is to show the financial results of a variety of options of asset divison, spousal support and child support. The other part is to make recommendations about how to reach your goals -- whether that is saving enough for your child's education or ensuring that you both have a solid financial base for retirement.

This person may recommend the purchase of various investments, but does not sell any types of investments to you.
