I am excited to have been elected on the CCLA 2020 Board of Trustees! - Rachelle

La nouvelle année apporte une vague de changements. Le mot clé pour l’année 2020 est clarté (qui fait référence à une vision parfaite). Lorsque vient le temps de négocier un accord ou un contrat de cohabitation, la clé est la clarté. Il est important pour les deux partis de comprendre les négociations et les termes de l’entente. Ceci aide à éviter les malentendus et à offrir un sens de confiance à tous les partis concernés. Si vous débutez ou terminez une relation nous pouvons vous aider avec nos services de médiation ou de conseils juridiques indépendants.

With a new year comes new changes. Clarity is the key word for 2020 (making reference to perfect vision). When it comes to negotiating settlements or negotiating cohabitation agreements, clarity is key. It is important for both sides to understand what they are bargaining into and to understand the meaning of the terms in the agreement. This helps avoid misunderstandings and ultimately provides everyone involved with more of a sense of certainty. If you are starting or ending a relationship we can help through our mediation services or by providing independent legal advice.

Whether it's the end-of-year exams, upcoming summer camps, or the change of grade level next year, it's never too early to find solutions that will help your child better manage their anxiety. To support you as a parent, Valoris has prepared this tip sheet.

We find that #Divorce 's biggest fear-inducer is THE UNKNOWN which is why it is so important to get connected to a #Collaborative team ASAP! We can DISPEL the rumours + misinfo that create stress! Get the FACTS about the legal, emotional and financial aspects of your divorce!

It may not seem like it right now, but things will get better. You will be okay.

Our basic Collaborative advice in a #Divorce where communication may be difficult is to NEVER use texts (too fast, no reflection or filter) + use e-mail but with a 30-60 minute delay to allow the initial reaction to moderate! Our process allows things to get better faster!

. ATTENTION . Divorced parents. .... Separated parents . Newly divorced, newly separated, thinking about separating, struggling in a relationship. . I’m no expert in this field. I am only speaking from personal experience. . I’m struggling this weekend because my daughter has an dance event that I’m not attending. She’s going with her dad and step mom... which was the plan all along but I was also supposed to attend. Plans changed and I decided not to go. (And I know she’s in good hands with her dad and step mom). . In these types of situations, when I get hard on myself, I try to think about it a different way. . 1- Sometimes parents that are still living under the same roof have to go separate ways with their kids for activities so don’t always get to attend their child’s activity. 2-Macy knows that I support her from near or from far and that I will be at her next competition in Regina 3- She’s in great hands this weekend with her dad & step mom. And thank god for Angie cause she comes to the rescue in the hair and makeup department and of course many other ways. . What I found worked for us in this situation was to have a good co-parent relationship. . Remember is was the 2 adults that decided to separate so the children shouldn’t suffer through the arguments, fights, disagreements. No different then when you married and you argue and disagree in private and when your kids are not around. . Another thing that worked for me was having a good relationship with Aiden and Macy’s step mom. . The fact of the matter is they spend just as much time with her that they do with me. . So helping each other out is in the best interest of all and most importantly our kids. . Again I’m not an expert. I’m only sharing what’s worked for us and our blended families and hope that if you are in this situation that some of this may helped you. .

We don't do yelling at the Collaborative negotiation table, although if it happens, we name it, we stop it (because it makes the space unsafe for at least one other person in that room), and then we explore it. Strong emotions are FLAGS we are talking about something important!

We've seen too many spouses avoid the legal + financial parts of their #divorce because the emotional part is too overwhelming. This can SERIOUSLY harm your rights + finances - just when those are at great risk! GET HELP from a #Collaborative pro and GET GOING. #YOUCANDOIT

Conflict is our opportunity to solve a problem that’s holding us back from living our best self. You don’t have to have all the answers right now - you just have to be curious and open to a creative solution.
