One of the most stressful aspects of separation and divorce is uncertainty. You don’t know how much money you will have, how much time you will have with your children and when the pain will go away. When I went through my own divorce, I hated the uncertainty and I am a divorce lawyer!
The government of Ontario has launched a new website for the public that helps to address some aspects of the uncertainty. It is called www.YourOntarioLaw.com. It provides general legal information. One page that I especially like shows the inside of a courtroom.
The problem with the website is that it is so focused on the Court process. It has only one line about Collaborative Practice which is a way of resolving disputes without going to court. I guess this makes sense since the government is in the business of providing the Court system. It also has very little information about family law.
Other excellent websites that provide information about the Collaborative Process are as follows:
www.CollaborativePracticeSimcoeCounty.com This website provides information including professionals in Simcoe County who practice Collaboratively. It is a great resource.
www.DivorceHappens.ca This website provides more information about Collaborative Practice, comparing the cost to the court process. It includes some great videos and lists professionals I have helped train in the Collaborative Process throughout Ontario.
www.OCLF.ca This website is our provincial umbrella organization. It has general information about Collaborative Practice.
