Fees
Fees are charged at $400.00 per hour plus HST.
Total legal fees depend on a variety of factors, such as:
- Level of conflict between the parties
- The resolution method used to resolve the dispute
- Whether there are children involved (a parenting plan must be created)
- The nature and extent of the assets and debts
- The amount of financial information to exchange
- Number of issues in dispute
- Whether there are any unique legal issues
- For common law couples, whether property issues are in dispute
- Whether negotiations between the couple are amicable or challenging
Let’s have 15 minute phone conversation to see if we’re a good fit. I offer this free.
Alternatively, for a fee, I will provide a half an hour or one hour telephone or video consultation.
