Frequently Asked Questions

No. We are a limited legal licensee licensed through the Law Society of Saskatchewan. This means we can provide licensed legal advice and negotiate family agreements in uncontested matters, but we cannot provide litigation services or represent you in court. If your situation requires litigation, we'll refer you to a lawyer.

A limited legal licensee is a professional licensed to practice law in a specific, limited scope. We are licensed to provide legal advice and negotiate family agreements for uncontested separations, divorces, parenting plans, and property division, but only where all parties are willing to cooperate. If conflict, parenting disputes, or court representation is required, that's outside our scope.

It's encouraged. Both parties are always encouraged to obtain independent legal advice before signing any agreement. Hailee provides that independent legal advice to one of you and prepares your agreement; we help the other party arrange their own independent review. We review the agreement with you in plain language.

Hailee works as the legal advisor for one of you. She gives that person independent legal advice and prepares your agreement. The other party is encouraged to get their own independent review, and we will refer them to another lawyer or limited licensee for their own sign-off, so each of you is protected by your own advice.

The Peace Charter is your personal roadmap to a finished agreement. Instead of a stack of legal disclosure demands, you get a clear, plain-language plan that shows where you are and exactly what is left. It lists what we need to draft your agreement, the documents to gather and the numbers to confirm, such as a home value, account balances, debt balances, and pension details, and where it helps, it points you to the right professional to get them. It turns the most stressful part, getting organized, into a simple checklist you work through at your own pace, and it organizes the financial disclosure needed for a sound, enforceable agreement.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a plain-language written summary of what the two of you have agreed. If you are mostly on the same page, we help you capture it and move to your formal agreement. If there are bigger gaps, we can facilitate a connection with a qualified neutral mediator in our professional network to help you both work toward agreement, and once you have, we formalize it. We do not act as the mediator, and the other person is encouraged to obtain their own independent legal advice.

Yes. We negotiate and work through pension splits, deal with pension plans, and address life insurance policies as part of your agreement.

Selling the home, or one of you buying the other out? We can help with that piece. Because a refinance or buyout involves money moving through a lawyer's trust account, that part of the closing is completed by a cooperating lawyer. It is an optional add-on, quoted for your specific situation, so you only pay for what you need.

No. Browsing our website does not create a solicitor-client relationship. A relationship only begins when you formally engage our services and we agree to act for you.

$179 for a 60-minute consultation, with $179 off your package if you proceed, often same-day. Prices exclude applicable taxes (GST & PST).

A separation agreement starts at a simple base of $1,999 (drafting and finalizing included), with optional modules added only if your situation needs them: children +$697, property +$597, spousal support +$497. Other services include independent legal advice for one party ($897-$1,797), uncontested divorce filing & finalization ($2,197-$2,997), a standalone parenting plan ($1,097, +$397 per additional child), and post-mediation MOU formalization ($1,997). Fees are fixed, confirmed in writing upfront, and billed at milestones as your file moves forward. No retainer. See our Pricing page for full details.

Hourly billing creates uncertainty and can incentivize conflict. With fixed-fee pricing, you know your cost upfront, and we're motivated to reach fair, durable agreements efficiently. Your interests align with ours.

It depends on complexity and how quickly both parties can cooperate. Simple agreements typically take 4-8 weeks. Complex agreements may take 8-16 weeks. We'll give you a timeline estimate after your consultation.

Yes. We treat your information as confidential. Please note that solicitor-client privilege may not apply to communications with a limited licensee. We explain this and our scope before you engage us.

Yes. We serve all of Saskatchewan through completely virtual consultations and services. You never need to meet in person.

If negotiations stall or the situation becomes contested, we'll discuss your options. In some cases, mediation can help. If the matter requires court, we'll refer you to a lawyer who can represent you in litigation.

We focus on uncontested family agreements. If your situation involves conflict, contested parenting, family violence, complex asset disputes, or court representation, we'll refer you to appropriate resources and lawyers who can help.

Yes, but only with the other party's consent. Modifications and parenting updates are available from $697-$1,397 depending on the change. We can discuss modification options when you engage us.

Parenting plans and child support are core services. We'll work with you to create a parenting schedule and calculate child support that works for both parties and prioritizes your children's wellbeing.
