Years of Experience
Services Tailored to Your Needs
Our lawyers and mediator offer a range of services suited to your situation. In some separations, we provide mediation and legal representation throughout the process of negotiating a Separation Agreement. Mediation, even in high-conflict situations, can assist in reaching a settlement outside of family court.
When circumstances warrant attendance in court, Berry Family Law provides effective advocacy, particularly in parenting disputes, support matters, and the division of property. We support clients through every stage of separation and divorce, from initial advice to final resolution, with the goal of protecting their rights, reducing conflict, and helping them move forward with stability.
Berry Family Law offers legal services tailored to your needs, including wills, notary and commissioning services, virtual legal services, legal coaching, and unbundled services.
Family Litigation
Our family litigation team provides trusted and reliable legal support for divorce, child custody, child and spousal support, property division, and parenting disputes. We will guide you through mediation, negotiations, and court proceedings while protecting your rights and interests.
Our experienced team members are committed to achieving fair, practical, and effective resolutions for your family matters. Services may include contested and uncontested divorce, matrimonial home issues, business and complex asset division, spousal support matters, and court representation when litigation becomes necessary.
We also assist with parenting time and decision-making responsibility, parenting plans, child support and special expenses, mobility and relocation concerns, and paternity or parentage matters, always keeping the child's best interests at the forefront.
Where safety concerns exist, we can help clients pursue restraining orders, emergency motions, and provide legal guidance related to domestic violence concerns, including referrals to appropriate support resources when applicable.
Family Mediation
Mediation is a negotiation process with a qualified third-party mediator who serves as an unbiased perspective. Our mediator can ease the burden of difficult negotiations that may lead to arguments and support the creation of a relevant agreement.
Mediation can save time and costs, reduce stress, and help preserve positive relationships by encouraging cooperative problem-solving. Many parenting, support, and property matters can be addressed through mediation, allowing families to work toward practical and child-focused resolutions outside of court.
Mediation can support collaborative negotiation, temporary and long-term arrangements, and meaningful discussions that help families move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Prenups and Cohabitation Agreements
A prenuptial agreement and a cohabitation agreement are legal contracts that help couples clearly define their financial rights, responsibilities, and expectations before marriage or while living together.
Couples obtain these agreements to protect assets, reduce uncertainty, and create clarity around property, support, and financial matters. Our team will help draft these agreements with careful attention to each client's unique circumstances, offering clear guidance and experienced advice.
We also assist with postnuptial agreements, amendments to existing agreements, and Independent Legal Advice to ensure domestic contracts accurately reflect your intentions and provide lasting peace of mind.
Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested or simple divorce is a process where both spouses agree on the main terms of their separation, helping avoid lengthy court battles, extra stress, and unnecessary costs.
Our firm will guide you through each step with clear communication, practical advice, and efficient service to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
From eligibility requirements and document preparation to filing procedures and final divorce orders, we help ensure the process proceeds efficiently and with confidence.
Separation and Parenting Agreements
Separation and parenting agreements define important arrangements such as parenting schedules, decision-making responsibilities, financial support, and division of property after a relationship ends.
These agreements can reduce conflict, create stability, and help both parties move forward with a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities. Our firm works closely with clients to create practical, fair, and personalized agreements while keeping the process as smooth as possible.
Agreements may address parenting time, decision-making responsibility, child support and special expenses, relocation considerations, and other matters that support long-term clarity and stability for families.
We also assist with amendments to existing agreements when circumstances change, and Independent Legal Advice is required before finalizing negotiated terms.
