One way to reduce legal fees in a divorce is by being reasonable. People often look for emotional justice through divorce, but it doesn't work that way. When parties take unreasonable positions, it prolongs the resolution process and adds to their legal fees.

Judge sides with CRA in ruling surrogacy expenses are not "eligible adoption expenses." A Nova Scotia couple loses their bid to recoup surrogacy expenses through the federal Adoption Tax Credit.

Have you heard of #PlatonicCoparenting? It involves raising a child with someone who is not a romantic partner. Intended parents should ensure they solidify the terms of their arrangement in a legal agreement well before the baby is born. https://t.co/wj4AQ36F0F

Even if separating spouses agree on how to divide property and care for their children, it's prudent to have a #FamilyLawyer review your legal agreement. Both parties must understand their right and responsibilities before signing any agreement.
