- Meetings are easier to schedule when we don't have to account for a commute.
- The process is efficient.
- It is safe. You are each in your own private space.
- We can serve clients across British Columbia, including in big cities where legal fees are extremely high and in remote areas where legal services are not available.
- Less office space means affordable fees.

Here’s the short form cheat sheet:
It is risky to write your own Separation Agreement (or to use a generic kit, Sample Separation Agreement, or Template Separation Agreement to prepare an agreement) as chances are high that you may leave out an important detail or you may use words that have a different legal meaning than what you intend. If your agreement turns out to be problematic, it can be very expensive and sometimes impossible to correct your error.
Furthermore, if you need bank financing to take over your family home or to purchase a new home, you should know that most banks will not approve your financing on the basis of a home-made Separation Agreement.
If you're hoping to have your home-made agreement notarized or "legalized" by a notary, please note that a Notary Public is prohibited by their professional regulations from witnessing family law agreements.
