Darrin Hotte is on TV today! On Money Matters with Jim Doyle, Darrin was on the panel on Money Doesn't Have to be a Relationship Wrecker, and starters on talking to your spouse about your finances.

Is this weekend your time for "Financial Infidelity"? Darrin Hotte had the privilege to be one of the experts tapped to discuss this hot topic, around spouses talking to each other about their money. The full episode is available now! Thanks to Doyle & Associates and Joytv BC for the opportunity to shed some light on this based on our experience (with mediating the infidelity, not the infidelity itself!).

Our clients Matt and Katie were so moved by how their mediation experience with us helped make their separation fair, in so many ways, for each other and their kids, they were more than willing to share their story to the world! Thank you, Mediate BC, for helping get their story out there.

We're so proud that Matt and Katie agreed to share their story to help others use mediation to work through separation! Part of @mediatebc's Conflict Resolution Week 2019.

Mediate BC's Conflict Resolution week starts this Sunday, November 3. The current invitation is for useful content around our recent federal election results. Click to find out more, and provide meaningful input!

Astute fans may have caught Darrin Hotte last Thursday on Jim Doyle's Money Matters TV Show on "Money Doesn't Have To Be A Relationship Wrecker". Here's the blog post http://www.joytv.ca//money-matters-money-doesnt-have-to-b/ and the encore airs tomorrow!

One (and JUST one) more thing about the children, here on the 2nd day of school ;)

Now that the first day of school is in the books, perhaps it's time for a #BackToSchool for grownups about our money... Money Matters with Jim Doyle premiers tomorrow night on JoyTV. As the title suggests, the show explores wise use of our finances, touching on some of our mindsets and psychology around the topic. Because Darrin's role as a Family Mediator for Divorce/Separation clients often revolves around asset division, his wisdom was tapped by Jim in an episode or two. We were pleased to see Darrin makes a quick appearance in some of the promo material! So please feel free to tune in tomorrow! (or set your PVR!)

#AsSeenOnTV?! Darrin Hotte appears on Money Matters with Jim Doyle, premiering Thurs, Sept 5 on Joytv BC ... and the back of his head even appears in this introductory blog post!

We're proud to be conducting an Orientation to Conflict Resolution again at this year's #HousingCentral, BC's Affordable Housing Conference. In conjunction with Justice Institute of British Columbia: JIBC

Summertime is here! If, for whatever reason, this is your season for divorce or separation mediation, know that we're here for you, and in fact may be more able to get you started.
