About Marie

In 2013 she became a certified Collaborative Team Leader, giving clients an alternative to going to court. Her practice covers custody and access, child and spousal support, property division, common-law separation, and restraining orders, and she has particular experience with child abduction cases, spousal battery claims, and disputes over imputed income.
