Committed Law Firm

Committed Law Firm

According to Statistics Canada, approximately 40% of all marriages end in divorce. Everyday, couples decide to separate and the process of ending relationships is not easy. Couples often become adversaries and lawyers do as expected, they fight. Yet regardless of the anger and hurt, most couples do not want to fight. They simply want an end to their relationship and they want to move on. In the end, couples facing divorce through litigation are often left with lengthy delays, emotional anguish, and great expense.

The new Family Law Act (FLA) came into effect March 18, 2013. The FLA is intended to focus on the interests of children, encourages separating couples to resolve their disputes outside the court system through methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR, which include Mediation, Arbitration, Mediation-Arbitration, Collaboration, and Negotiation.

At Alasaly Law Group, we believe in a philosophy that is completely client-driven. Our mission is to be committed to the welfare of the client, in every way, financially, emotionally and legally. Our team wants to focus on compassion coupled with expertise so that we give desired results quickly and smoothly. Headed by Sarah, our foundation and thinking are rooted in efficiency and care, keeping the client first and benefitting him or her in every way possible.

4-Way Meetings

During divorce settlements, we advise our clients to go for collaborative divorce which means that instead of going to court, they can mutually decide on aspects of custody, property division and support with the help of a neutral party. This is suggested only in cases where the dispute is manageable and there isn’t a criminal offence involved. The ‘four-way meeting’ with our firm, our client, the other party and their lawyers involves negotiations, discussions and helps us in securing the best possible outcome for our client.

Mediation

In mediation, parties or clients often discuss their issues or ongoing cases with us in order to reach a settlement. As a mediator, we don’t give any final or binding decisions but help you with legal advice as the negotiations move forward. We make sure you understand the legalities of what is being discussed and are adhering to your rights. Finally, if both parties agree on the terms, we will draw up an agreement that can be signed.

Med-Arb
(Mediation-Arbitration)

At Alasaly Law Group, Sarah and her team will guide you through your mediation-arbitration session. The process is generally as follows:
In comparison to more traditional methods of litigation, Med-Arb provides the following benefits:

The role of the mediator-arbitrator is to act as a neutral third party, with a keen ear to identify and resolve conflicts between a couple. Facilitating avenues for better communication is the primary goal here and the results are often better than divorce litigation. After both parties have communicated their issues, a final decision will be arrived at which will include the preferences of both parties and in some cases, willing compromise. Mostly couples who wish to separate often do not desire to engage in lengthy legal battles, but are looking for an amicable way to settle their differences, and to move on with their lives.
