Camille is pleased to be part of such a strong four lawyer family law team here at Siskinds LLP. She has been a lawyer in London for over 25 years. Since being called to the bar in 1993, she has practiced exclusively in the area of family law. Her practice area includes child support and spousal support issues, parenting issues including decision making and scheduling, previously known as custody and access, and all manner of financial and family property issues.
Family law issues may require special attention before marriage or cohabitation, or be faced after there has been a relationship breakdown. What these parents, partners or spouses need is experienced practical advice. Sometimes there are blended families to consider, or maybe a bankruptcy, a family trust, an inheritance, or a reluctant support payor. Later on it is quite common that circumstances may change and variations be needed to perhaps terminate spousal support or increase child support for example. You can count on Camille’s practical advice and experience as a well-respected family law lawyer in London for guidance as you navigate through every variety of what can be troubled waters.
More often than not, we can resolve all the issues in dispute be negotiating a fair and reasonable Separation Agreement or Domestic Contract. Camille’s goal is to identify reasonable objectives, and determine the necessary steps to get you there. A referral to mediation may sometimes be in order. When a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, then Camille will effectively litigate on your behalf for judicial determination of the issues at court.
Proud to be from Newfoundland, Camille has long made her home in London Ontario. Camille is honoured to have the confidence and respect of her colleagues in the community and grateful for their referrals.
Legal Jungle Thank you for all that you did for me to support me through my legal jungle over the last 4.5 years. I much appreciated your kindness, professionalism, patience and insight. I also valued very much how you helped me make sense of things when I couldn’t see the forest for the trees. It can’t be an easy job to help clients navigate through the mess of a separation and divorce with all the emotional mumbo jumbo that goes along with that but I think you did a formidable job helping me through it and I hope I didn’t drive you crazy too often. I hope our paths will cross again sometime but hopefully not for legal dilemma. However, I do know where to go if I do need family law assistance. - C.M.
Keep Doing What You Do Camille, you represented me back in 1997 when I was in a legal battle with my former husband. I was fighting for full custody and support for our son who was born with special needs. I always appreciated your support and that is why I recently referred a trusted friend to you. I have been a mentor of sorts to her, and she has just told me a few hours ago that you had been successful in "winning her case". I just want to thank you for what you did for me all those years ago, and what you've just done for my friend. Keep doing what you do. - P.R.
