Mediation prep
Walking in prepared.
Your numbers, the offer you'd accept, and the parenting calendar you'd live with — printed, tabbed, in a binder. The mediator opens it, scans the first page, and knows you came to settle. The room shifts before anyone has spoken.
Money you're already owed
More in your paycheque, sooner.
There is paperwork most men never hear about that puts real dollars back in every paycheque — instead of waiting more than a year for a refund cheque. We walk you through it in plain language. You feel it on the next pay run, not next April.
Before the lawyer
Four numbers in hand.
What you earn. What support might look like in your situation. What you'd actually keep at the end of every two weeks. What a fair split of what you own could look like. You walk into the consult paying for advice — not for the math we already did.
Deadlines and forms
Caught in time.
The court runs on dates and paperwork. Miss one and you're in front of a judge explaining why. We track what's due and when, in plain English, and the next thing on your list is always the next thing in time.
The tone
Written for you.
Plain Ontario language. No journey. No you've got this. No false comfort, no panic. The law, the math, the next step — the way a colleague would tell you over coffee, not the way a brochure would.
When you're the higher earner
Negotiating from numbers, not fear.
What the support guidelines produce for the income and parenting-time figures you enter — including how the math changes when the kids are with you most of the time. Side by side, the next three years of cash flow. You make the first offer from numbers, not from worry about getting it wrong.
