The Importance of an Initial Consultation

January 12, 2021 By Stephanie Dobson

People often ask why they need to come in for an initial consultation.  They just have a question that will take “30 seconds” of my time to answer.  I often hear frustration on the other end of the phone when they are advised that they need to come in for a consultation to have the answer.  Well, it’s important that you understand the purpose of a consultation… as I see it. #1 – … [Read more...] about The Importance of an Initial Consultation

Using Technology to Improve your Co-Parenting Relationship

January 5, 2021 By Stephanie Dobson

My favourite topic! Technology! I thought I’d take an opportunity to write about how technology can be used to help separated and divorced co-parents to be more effective. First, let’s talk about co-parenting apps! I love to test out the various apps that are out there.  They’re a great way to compartmentalize your communication with your co-parent.  There’s tons of different ones – … [Read more...] about Using Technology to Improve your Co-Parenting Relationship

My Favourite Divorce Books

December 28, 2020 By Stephanie Dobson

I love to feature great books I’ve found to help parents to learn how to effectively transition into co-parenting from two homes.  It really is a skill that’s acquired; just like learning to drive, it’s important to start out your new journey with creating an effective foundation of positive and effective skills. Here’s my favourites – they are all pictured below: Explaining divorce to … [Read more...] about My Favourite Divorce Books

Virtual Lawyering and Mediating 101 – it’s amazing!

June 6, 2020 By Stephanie Dobson

Prior to COVID-19, I would say that my practice could be run 50% virtually.  Enter pandemic, and with a few changes to technology, all of a sudden I’ve been able to operate 100% virtually.  In fact, I’ve joked with my team that we could actually legitimately run our office from a beach in Mexico – although they laughed, then quickly realized that I wasn’t kidding! I made some changes … [Read more...] about Virtual Lawyering and Mediating 101 – it’s amazing!
