Separation Lawyer Services in Barrie

Mediation

This is usually also the first official step in handling any type of separation or divorce agreement (after the consolation and prep work, of course). This is where the separation lawyer will work with both members of the relationship, together if they are capable of being civil or separately if not. Being skilled in this area is very important in avoiding the issue escalating into an ugly situation.

Negotiation

If mediation isn’t able to establish an agreement on its own, but both parties are still willing to talk, negotiation is usually the next step. This is where there may be two completely different ideas on what the specific terms and stipulations of the agreement should be. A little give and take being suggested by an experienced attorney is necessary.

Litigation

While a good divorce lawyer needs to be adept in the meeting room, they need to be brilliant in the courtroom. If it gets to the point where you are going to court with your soon-to-be ex-partner, then it is time to realize that this thing could get ugly. You want to have an attorney that can not only help to avoid that all costs, but who is also able to handle it if it is simply unavoidable.

Empathy and Compassion

Although this one isn’t actually a service, we still wanted to mention it. This is usually the hardest thing that most people will go through other than a loved one’s death. Having someone that can not only handle every legal aspect of your situation, but who can also offer an understanding ear is invaluable.
