Our Legal Services
Child Custody & Shared Parenting
Many of our cases involve helping parents reach a custody agreement. Our philosophy and focus is to work towards achieving equal time shared parenting, as this is truly the best situation for the children involved. We help any parent – mother or father – who is being pushed out of their children's lives by the other.
Parental Alienation
Carey Linde was one of the first lawyers in Canada, and remains senior, in the field of Parental Alienation and Parental Alienation Syndrome. He is experienced in filing against the parent who has set out to alienate a child from the other parent, sabatoge the bond between the child and that parent, and in every possible way remove that parent and their family from the life of the child.
Divorce and Separation Agreements
Along with concerns about the children, we work with our clients to try and come to an agreement regarding property, assets, and other factors that may be involved in a separation. Many times it is possible to do this peacefully, which is in the best interest of all involved. Our lawyers have extensive experience preventing the need for court time and excess legal expenses. However, if it is required, we will proceed and effectively defend our client's rights in a Court of Law.
Protection against an Abusive Spouse
We act for people who are in an abusive relationship. More often than not, this is the woman.
Dispute Resolution and Collaborative Law
Whenever possible, we attempt to resolve disputes and problems before it becomes necessary to go to court. We are strong advocates of mediation where both barents are basically rational individuals, otherwise it can be a waste of time. Our Lawyers practise Collaborative Law, in the interest of resolving conflicts with the least disruption possible to the lives of those involved. Collaborative Law is the practise and art of settling cases without court intervention at any stage. You can read more about Collaborative Law here.
