Soul Family Law

Soul Family Law represents a transformative approach to divorce and family law, emphasizing collaborative problem-solving, mediation-based dispute resolution, and genuine commitment to helping families navigate separation with dignity and efficiency. Founded by Kimberly Soul and located at Unit 160 - 99 Scurfield Boulevard in Winnipeg (serving clients from Winnipeg Beach and throughout Manitoba), the practice reflects a philosophy that divorce need not be destructive, that families can resolve their differences respectfully, and that legal representation should facilitate agreement rather than fuel conflict. Kimberly Soul herself embodies this approach. She holds a Certificate in Family Mediation Training, providing her with specialized knowledge about how to facilitate productive conversations between disputing family members. Clients consistently describe her as exceptionally responsive to their questions and concerns, demonstrating the accessibility and genuine care that characterizes her practice. Her commitment to collaborative law and mediation reflects a belief that these approaches serve clients' interests far better than traditional adversarial litigation. Soul Family Law's signature offering—the One Day Divorce program—has become a beacon of hope for couples seeking an efficient, respectful, and affordable path to divorce. The One Day Divorce represents a revolutionary approach to family law dispute resolution. Rather than months of legal wrangling, court delays, and emotional deterioration, couples participating in the One Day Divorce program work with trained collaborators to negotiate and execute a separation agreement in a single, intensive day-long session. The process involves each spouse, their lawyers, and a neutral coach who helps facilitate productive negotiation. The flat fee structure—$5,995 per spouse (plus taxes)—provides cost certainty and accessibility. Both spouses commit their retainers upfront, understanding precisely what their divorce will cost. The process accomplishes in one day what traditional litigation might take months to resolve, all while maintaining dignity and reducing the emotional toll that protracted disputes inflict on families. For couples who have already communicated their preferences and are primarily seeking help formalizing agreements, or who recognize that litigation will damage their co-parenting relationship and wish to avoid it, the One Day Divorce can be transformative. The program works best for couples without significant assets, recent separations where financial situations remain relatively clear, and families prioritizing efficiency and civility over adversarial resolution. Soul Family Law's broader collaborative divorce services extend to couples whose situations may not fit the One Day Divorce mold but who still wish to avoid litigation. Collaborative divorce involves a commitment from both spouses and their counsel to negotiate settlement without resorting to court. This commitment, made explicit at the outset, fundamentally changes negotiation dynamics. Rather than building trial evidence and preparing for courtroom combat, both sides focus on reaching fair agreement. The process is transparent, respectful, and often involves neutral professionals—financial advisors, child psychologists, or other specialists—who help couples understand their options and make informed decisions. What distinguishes collaborative divorce from traditional litigation is the elimination of adversarial positioning and the mutual commitment to finding solutions both parties can accept. For many couples, this process produces superior outcomes: faster resolution, lower cost, and preservation of family relationships necessary for ongoing co-parenting. Mediation services similarly reflect Soul Family Law's commitment to helping families communicate and resolve disputes without litigation. Working with Kimberly Soul as a neutral mediator, couples can often reach agreement on contested issues more easily than through traditional legal negotiation. Mediation works particularly well for disputes about property division, support amounts, and custody arrangements where both parties are fundamentally motivated to reach agreement but struggle with communication or negotiation dynamics. The firm's services in family law agreements—cohabitation agreements, prenuptial agreements, spousal agreements, and separation agreements—reflect an important aspect of family law receiving insufficient attention. Couples can establish clear agreements about their intentions regarding property, support, and related matters, protecting both parties' interests through transparent communication and documented understanding. Cohabitation agreements protect couples in common-law relationships by establishing what happens to property and support if the relationship ends. Prenuptial agreements allow couples contemplating marriage to address financial matters clearly before marriage begins. Spousal agreements allow already-married couples to modify their property and support arrangements. Separation agreements document couples' understanding about how divorce-related issues should be resolved. All of these agreements, properly drafted and executed, provide couples with clarity and protection. What truly distinguishes Soul Family Law is Kimberly Soul's personal commitment to each client and her understanding that effective family law representation requires both legal knowledge and genuine care. Her accessibility—clients consistently describe her as remarkably responsive to their questions and concerns—reflects a philosophy that clients deserve direct access to their lawyer and personal attention to their situations. For families in the Winnipeg area facing separation or divorce and seeking an alternative to traditional adversarial litigation, Soul Family Law offers something increasingly rare: a lawyer with specialized mediation training, genuine commitment to collaborative resolution, and proven ability to help families navigate family transitions with dignity and efficiency. Whether through the innovative One Day Divorce program, collaborative divorce services, mediation, or traditional negotiated settlement, Kimberly Soul brings the combination of legal expertise, mediation skills, and authentic care that transforms divorce from a source of ongoing conflict into an opportunity for fair resolution and renewed stability.
