Layperson's Guide to Family Law Arbitration Client Handouts Mar 15, 2022 This is a paper I wrote last year that I recently ran into again going through my website. This paper is a guide aimed at people going through arbitration processes without a lawyer. It's written in plain language and talks about how arbitrators make decisions, evidence, case law and statute law, preparing for hearings and so forth.
Feel free to use all, some or none of the paper as you'd like. Permission isn't required to reproduce or distribute. PDF Download (65 downloads)

Declaration of Intention to Retain Beneficial Interest and Exemption (sole) Other Jun 16, 2020 I developed this form after reading all of the decisions following Jackson and Harrower which discussed rebutting the presumption of advancement when an exemption is placed into joint names.

Chambers Procedure Manual (with Family Law Highlights) Condensed Notes (CANS) Mar 24, 2020 You may have some additional time to read given the pandemic-related closures, so I've attached the 2020 171-page update to my 2017 paper, which was previously titled the Family Chambers Procedure Manual.
It's the manual which addresses over 60 different court procedures. Each procedure is broken down by case law and practical suggestions. It's meant to help assist lawyers with the preparation of applications, affidavits, and arguments. In the 2020 update, there's now a separate subheading within each application setting out any special treatment in the family law realm.
Most of the new content was written by our newest associate ... [Read More] PDF Download (183 downloads)
