Results & Value
Client: It was good. We had to pay her $50,000, and [Client] sold the car she didn't want in the end. And [Client] wasn't responsible for any of the upcoming wedding costs, but she had gotten his car into a car accident, so [Client] looked after all that before he sold the car. So 50,000 is what he had to pay. We ended up paying about 6000 for Family Law Group, and [Client] sold the car for 17,000. So we ended up about where we needed to be. It wasn't that much over what our original offer would have been, and [Client] ended up being able to stay in the house. So [Client] got the house.
Interviewer: Is this the outcome that you were hoping for?
Client: It was because it was a block from us, and we felt like he needed a lot of support. He had a dog that needed walking when he was on his own, working at his new job, so I could just go over and walk his dog. If he had to be out of the house, it would have been a completely different ball game for him.
Client: Oh, we were thrilled. [Client] knew that he'd be taking on a little bit of debt, but it would be debt he owed his parents. That's the kind of debt that can be paid off when you want it to be paid off kind of thing. But he was thrilled that he didn't have to move. He didn't have to change the way he was doing things on a day-to-day basis because that would have been a big stress if he would have had to find a new place. He would have lost a lot of money to real estate, and then it would have been a big chunk of land transfer to buy another place and all that. So he ended up in the better situation. He got to stay in his house the whole time [Ex-fiancé] had to leave. She ended up in an apartment that she's renting after she moved out of her parent's house. So, for sure, he won. If there's a winner and a loser, he won.
Client: I would definitely say that if you can work things out amicably with whoever the person is you're having an issue with, you will definitely save yourself some money. But if there's no way you can meet in the middle, then you might as well get a lawyer because, yes, we paid $6,000, but [Client] ended up with pretty much what he wanted, and Dan also did a full separation agreement for them. So [Client] paid for that within that $6,000. It included a separation agreement so [Ex-fiancé] could never come back and get anything else from [Client].
Client: So we have peace of mind moving forward. So it was reasonable for what we got. And I would say to somebody, yeah, if you don't want to spend that kind of money, then figure it out. But if you can't negotiate with the person, then I would recommend going to Family Law Group. And I would specifically say Dan, too, because he was really nice. We trusted him.
Client: Dan helped us receive a very favourable outcome. Our son was able to stay in the house, and the buyout was more than fair. Our son was able to stay in the home, so his life wasn't turned upside down through this process.
