The York Collaborative Practice is a group of lawyers, financial professionals and mental health practitioners who are committed to assisting separating couples to resolve their family law disputes a better way.

The professionals who participate in the collaborative process have received specialized training.

Everyone who participates in a collaborative family law process must:

• Commit to resolving the dispute without going to court or threatening to go to court.

• Provide full and complete disclosure of all information required to reach a resolution

• Conduct themselves in a manner that is dignified and respectful of all participants

• Have a willingness to consider a variety of settlement options of which the ‘legal option’ is just one.
