We are a FAMILY LAW FIRM which understands that a separation requires more than just legal solutions. We appreciate that going through separation and divorce can be a very overwhelming time. We know you don't want to be here, and we know you probably didn't imagine this would happen, but we will make it as smooth as possible for you and your family to move forward.
We offer alternative divorce and dispute resolutions that support both parties to reach fair and balanced solutions for everyone, without going to Court. We believe in a non-adversarial, family focused approach to family law, and we achieve this by combining the skills of a family lawyer and a psychologist.

Services
We have outlined our services below, but we know it can be overwhelming. If you aren't sure which service is appropriate for your situation, you can always contact us directly at any time. A team approach - two lawyers (one for you and one for your partner) and neutral professionals (a facilitator and a financial professional) work in a structured process through a series of meetings to achieve a peaceful, fair resolution.
Our clients are people who are looking for an amicable, alternative approach to separation or divorce with minimal stress for their families. We know that divorce and separation are hard, and we are here to make it as smooth as possible for you and your family. At Bayside Collaborative, we offer a truly holistic approach to separation by using mediation and collaborative skills.
I say to virtually all my new clients 'I know you don't want to be here' - because that is almost universally true. No one wants to see a family lawyer. We never imagine our relationships breaking down, but sometimes they do. My first objective as your lawyer is to earn your trust and confidence and then to guide and support you through a positive and constructive process to achieve resolution.
Knowing what to do can be hard when you're separating. What should I do and who can I contact? We make this easier for you by offering a FREE FIRST CONSULTATION in our office or by telephone. There is no obligation, and you will get a sense of who we are and how we work. In this way, you will get the guidance, advice and support you need to start making decisions and move forward.
We know how difficult it is to choose a family lawyer and other professionals you can trust to support you and your family, and we understand the process can be overwhelming. When you are ready, feel free to get in touch with any questions or to book in your FREE FIRST CONSULTATION so we can help you move forward.

Report
Jane Libbis from Bayside Collaborative helped me through my separation from my wife with my young son in the mix. From the get go a clear understanding of the way I wanted to conduct and carry myself through the process was really well accepted, actually probably more like promoted. Within each communication with my ex wife a clear message was portrayed that complemented this. There were times were I would get carried away down the injustice path which swayed my thinking, but with Jane's help I was able to remain focused on the clear goal of ensuring the end result always remained about my son
