What types of cases do LLPs handle?


LLPs represent clients in a variety of family law cases including divorce, legal separation, allocation of parental responsibilities (custody), child support orders and modifications, and maintenance modifications.

LLPs can represent clients on all aspects of their cases or provide unbundled / limited scope legal services such as document preparation, settlement review, financial disclosures preparation, child support and / or maintenance calculations, and mediation preparation.

Two Roads focuses on providing unbundled / limited scope
legal services whenever possible, with affordable options so you get just the help you need within a budget that works for your family.

What are unbundled legal services?


Unbundled legal services are also known as “limited scope” legal services. In an unbundled representation, the LLP does not enter the case on behalf of the client. Instead, the client is in charge of their own case but retains the LLP to assist with various issues throughout the case.

Sometimes this means the LLP is in the background, providing consultation services at the request of the client on the client’s schedule. Sometimes this means the LLP assists with drafting and the preparation of other documents like marital balance sheets.

Clients can also choose to engage the LLP for limited scope representation to be their advocate during mediation or settlement conferences.

At Two Roads, Ashley offers unbundled/limited scope family law legal services designed to fit each client’s needs.

What happens at the initial consultation?


At the initial consultation, which is held by video conference or phone, Ashley will gather information about your family and your specific legal needs.

You will be asked questions about your case and about what you hope to achieve in the outcome of your case. Ashley will then provide you with a legal consultation, explaining your rights and responsibilities in your case, as well as provide you with legal advice and potential case strategy based on the information you provide.

Ashley will also answer your questions about the case and provide information regarding the services offered by Two Roads to fit your unique needs.

How much will my divorce cost?


Every divorce is different. There are a lot of factors to consider, including whether your LLP will offer advice on an unbundled or full representation basis, the value and complexity of your marital estate, and whether you and your spouse want an amicable divorce. If one party engages in behavior that drives up conflict, the case can become more expensive as a result.

At Two Roads, Ashley excels in helping her clients achieve settlement in the most efficient and affordable way possible based on the specific facts of each case.

Under what rule do LLPs practice?
What is capital “C” Collaborative Divorce?


Collaborative divorce is a structured divorce process that allows couples to manage their divorce in a way that best fits the needs of their family. Collaborative divorces involve the parties negotiating the terms of their divorce amicably without the emotional and financial toll inherent to preparing for and litigating divorces.

Collaborative divorces often involve the use of neutral third parties to assist in settlement, such as a Collaborative Divorce Facilitator, a financial neutral, a mental health professional, or a child specialist.

This approach centers around the preservation of relationships, especially in cases where couples will co-parent moving forward.
