Collaborative Practice is growing in Toronto!
The collaborative approach to Family Law began as an experiment in Minnesota in 1990. After taking a few years to develop and prove its success, it spread quickly; first to California and then up the coast to British Columbia. From there it advanced across Canada arriving in Toronto in the summer of 2000.
Collaborative Practice Toronto's Board of Directors have worked with members to establish a firm interdisciplinary presence in our community.
Collaborative Practice Toronto extends its membership to professionals from the mental health, financial and other professional communities.
Collaborative Practice Toronto promotes the special training required so that its members can expertly assist their clients to:
- resolve family law disputes without going to court or threatening to go to court
- remain focused on the best interests of children
- ensure full and complete disclosure of all important information
- negotiate in a principled, dignified and respectful manner
- explore as many options for settlement as possible
- reach creative resolutions that best meet the goals and priorities of the individual family.
