Finally, a Divorce Process With No Surprise Legal Fees.

You've worked hard to build your financial security. Your divorce shouldn't deplete it.

Most divorcing couples in Ontario share the same concern: uncertain legal costs. Traditional hourly billing makes it impossible to budget. Even a straightforward divorce can cost $20,000 to $40,000 per person. Cases that go to Court – over $100,000. You won’t know the final number until you’re already committed.

There's a better way.

The Real Cost of Hourly Billing

Let’s be honest about what divorce typically costs in Ontario:

Traditional Hourly Billing:

Lawyer rates: $400-$600 per hour
Average divorce cost: $20,000-$40,000+ per person
Every email, phone call, and revision: Adds to your bill
Your anxiety level: High - constantly watching the meter and invoices
Final cost: Unknown until your case is resolved. The longer your case is open the higher your legal fees. Once you have retained a lawyer it is difficult to leave and very expensive to hire new counsel.
Common scenario: "I thought it would be $10,000... my final bill was $28,000"

Our Flat Fee Approach:

Mediation

Many couples reach an impasse on key issues and need expert assistance to find solutions.

Mediation is a process where a neutral third party helps you and your spouse reach agreements on divorce-related issues like property division, parenting plans, and support—without going to Court. It’s faster, less expensive, and less adversarial than litigation.

But here’s what most people don’t realize: Not all mediation is created equal.

The Problem With Traditional Mediation – Many mediators aren’t lawyers. They facilitate conversations and help you reach agreements but they don’t have legal experience.

The result? Couples may sign agreements without fully understanding what they’re agreeing to. Years later, they discover costly mistakes that can’t easily be undone. Or couples believe they’ve finalized their agreement in mediation, but when their lawyer reviews the paperwork, they uncover unfair terms or financial errors that send everyone back to the negotiating table.

How We’re Different – We are flipping the traditional mediation model.

Your Lawyer Does the Heavy Lifting First. Before mediation begins, your legal team completes the financial disclosure, explains your legal rights and entitlements, identifies potential issues and concerns, prepares you for what to expect, calculates child support, spousal support and property division.

You walk into mediation informed, prepared, and protected.

Then a Lawyer-Mediator Steps In – The mediator isn’t just a facilitator—they’re an experienced lawyer who: understands the legal implications of your decisions, can spot unfair or problematic terms immediately, and ensures both parties understand what they’re agreeing to.

Why this approach works – You Get Legal Protection AND Cost Savings . You understand what you’re signing. No surprises. No regrets.

Add Mediation to Any Package – Mediation can be added to any of our flat fee packages. The mediator works separately and independently from our firm, and both parties must consent to the choice of mediator before the process begins. The lawyer- mediator operates on a flat-fee basis and invoices clients directly, with the cost shared equally between both spouses. This allows you to combine the legal preparation and support you’re receiving from us, with the structured negotiation process that mediation provides.

The Small Print

Marketing Term Clarification – “90-Day Divorce” is a marketing term, not a legal term. Our 90-day target specifically refers to reaching a separation agreement between the parties, which establishes the substantive rights and obligations of each spouse regarding property division, support and other relevant matters. Parenting plans require additional time. The formal divorce order itself, requires a judge’s signature and a court application, is a separate legal process and requires additional fees that you can apply for after the separation agreement is finalized. While the separation agreement governs your substantive rights, the final divorce order will be obtained through subsequent court proceedings in accordance with provincial requirements. We do NOT guarantee you will get a Court ordered divorce in 90 days as that process usually takes between 8 months to a year depending on Court processing times.

Timeline Expectations – The “90-Day Divorce” name represents our target timeline goal, not a guaranteed outcome. While we are committed to moving your case forward as efficiently as possible, the actual duration of your separation depends on several factors outside our control. These factors include your timely cooperation and responsiveness in providing necessary information and documentation, the complexity of your individual circumstances, prompt and good-faith negotiations between parties, the responsiveness and cooperation of opposing counsel, scheduling availability and processing times. Our team will diligently work to advance your case and remove any obstacles within our control. However, some cases take longer than 90 days to complete. Depending on the specific circumstances, your divorce may take 6-12 months or longer to finalize. Any delays resulting from external factors such as uncooperative opposing counsel, or delays in client or opposing party’s responsiveness are not due to lack of effort on our part.

Flat Fee Structure – Our flat fee service is designed for straightforward, moderate complex divorce cases. This fee structure assumes a standard level of complexity and time commitment. If your case requires significantly more time than allocated, or if complications arise that were not apparent at the outset, we reserve the right to convert your representation to our standard hourly billing structure. If conversion becomes necessary, you will be notified in advance and any unused portion of your flat fee will be credited toward hourly charges or refunded as appropriate. We also reserve the right to withdraw from flat fee representation if the case scope substantially exceeds initial expectations, either known or unknown, in which case you will receive a refund of any unused fees. The Firm has final decision making as to whether your matter will fit within the flat fee package and whether it wishes to proceed with the retainer, even if your matter appears to meet all the necessary criteria, the Firm may still decline to represent you.
