Villani & Company provides the following Family Law Services:
Mediation
A trained family mediator can help facilitate discussion between you and your spouse. A mediator will address issues in a constructive way and help in the design of a shared resolution for your family. This is a process that emphasizes collaboration, with you and your spouse both working toward a solution.
Lawyer-Assisted Negotiations
A lawyer can act on your behalf in a collaborative fashion in order to represent you in negotiations with the other party. This can be done directly or through counsel, with the ultimate goal of reaching a fair settlement on all issues. The end result should be a separation agreement that both parties agree to and sign. This has the same effect as court order, but is a “friendlier” process and more economical.
Litigation
When necessary, our lawyers can commence with court proceedings on your behalf, whether in Provincial Court or the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Our lawyers believe that court should be the last resort in family matters, however if it is required we will pursue your case in a professional and knowledgeable manner. Family Litigation can be very stressful and our lawyers recognize this and work hard to reduce the negative impact on the family unit while pursuing your rights with skill.
