Collaborative Divorce | Vancouver BC
Collaborative divorce counselling Vancouver is a process in which everyone agrees to collaborate toward solutions that work for both parties without going to court. All parties, including the children, benefit from the collaborative divorce or separation: i) atmosphere is non-adversarial; ii) we work together toward win-win solutions; and iii) your feelings and values are honoured and respected.
Divorce Coaches are mental health professionals with specific training and expertise in the area of collaborative law.
