I have been residing and practicing family law in Kelowna since 1988. I am married to a Chartered Accountant and have two school age children, a boy, Jamie, born in 1993 and a girl, Samantha, born in 1996.
I have been practicing in the area of family law since 1986. During the first 14 years of my family law career in Court, I spent about 50% of my working days in Court. I completed the Family Law Mediation training in 1998 and the Collaborative Family Law training in 2001 and an update in Collaborative Family Law in 2003 and now spend less than 5 % of my time in Court. I am pleased and proud of that fact. I believe it to be an accomplishment.
As a result of my experiences, both in and out of Court, I have gained a tremendous amount of experience in resolving the issues of custody, access, child and spousal maintenance and property division. I have seen a huge variety of ways in which couples have chosen, with the assistance of their lawyer, to resolve their outstanding matrimonial issues. I am very excited to be a part of an approach that can turn a potentially negative event in a family’s life into a much more positive outcome for all participants.
Having young children myself, I believe I am sensitive to the needs of children and I want the process of separation and divorce to be as positive as possible for all involved, but particularly, for children. To me, the couple needs to understand what impact their choice of an approach for resolving their outstanding issues can have on their children, now, and in the future.
I strive to work together with clients to address their outstanding matrimonial issues. It is the client who knows their individual circumstances; themselves, their spouce and their children best, but it is the team of lawyer and client that I believe is critical for the development of an approach and a plan for the resolution of the client’s outstanding needs and concerns; incorporating the individual needs of each member of the family.
Let's work together to create a positive resolution
in your separation and divorce.
