FAMILY
The separation of parents can affect all aspects of the lives of all members of the family.
We are skilled at guiding clients through a wide range of disputes, achieving positive outcomes and keeping the child’s welfare as paramount. The areas of disagreement may include child living arrangements and contact arrangements.
When indicated, it can involve the children of the family. We believe that this will result in each parent and each child being supported through the process of family division.
Arbitration
Stephen Wildblood is committed to providing arbitration to help parents avoid having to go to court. Arbitration is a type of alternative dispute resolution parties provide their case to an arbitrator, who looks at the evidence and decides what the outcome should be. The decision of the arbitrator is legally binding, although case law states that a dissatisfied party to Family arbitration may apply to the Family court on a basis that would be similar to an appeal from the arbitrator’s decision.
