Family Law

Overview

Where Family Law is concerned, Bennet Waugh Family Law aims to help you resolve issues as effectively and efficiently as possible. Every family's needs are different - and, as such, the approach to resolving their disputes is unique.

We always consider different approaches to resolving family issues - negotiation, collaboration, mediation, court, or a combination of these. Taking the right approach for your family is important to make sure the needs of all those involved are met.

Protect Your Interests

Family law is about more than what happens with separated families. Planning ahead is also important to many families as they begin. We can help protect your interests by preparing a cohabitation or prenuptial agreement specially tailored to your needs.

Plan For Your Future

We realize that family breakdown and associated disputes involve winding up the most intimate of relationships, and that issues stemming from the breakdown of the family unit can have far reaching effects, both emotionally and financially. We also understand how non-legal issues can greatly impact the ability of the parties to resolve their legal issues. We will assist you to sort out the immediate issues, and explain to you how your decisions now may impact you, negatively or positively, in the future.

Family changes may also require attention to other aspects of your shared and individual lives and well being. We regularly work with a variety of professionals in other disciplines, such as financial advisors, psychologists, counselors, accountants, and appraisers. These specialists often provide significant insight. We are committed to helping you make the best-informed decisions possible regarding life and family challenges and changes.

We can help you define your needs, and create a plan of action that's best for you and your family. Starting with an initial, no-commitment consultation, our family lawyers will work with you to assess your needs, and gather the information necessary to make important decisions.

By contacting us at 204-942-7381, or through the contact us link, our staff will provide you with information about the consultation process and our lawyers’ rates. If you decide to proceed with a consultation, we will send you a consultation screening form for your completion, which will help us match you with one of our lawyers. We will then contact you to schedule an initial consultation, giving you an opportunity to meet personally, or virtually, with one of our lawyers to discuss your legal problems and concerns, and hear our suggested course of action, without any obligation to continue unless you choose.

We are committed to what matters most: Your Family, Your Future. We have the knowledge and experience to get you through the most difficult of legal issues, and the desire to do it with compassion.
