For Nova Scotians Facing a High-Stakes Divorce or Separation:
Navigate Your High-Stakes Divorce with Clarity & Strategy — in a 1-Hour Confidential Consultation
(Before You Retain a Lawyer)
When you have significant assets, investments, or a business to protect, you can’t afford confusion or reactive decisions. This consultation will help you see risks, options, and next steps before you commit to a costly legal fight.
When a marriage ends after decades, it’s not just emotional— it can feel complicated and overwhelming.
Everything you’ve spent a lifetime building can suddenly feel at risk: your stability, your peace of mind, and the future you worked so hard to create.
You’re facing questions you never thought you’d have to answer:
How do you protect your retirement savings and investments?
How do you untangle a life and family built together without watching it unravel?
What happens to the business you built?
Many people in this position believe their only option is to retain a divorce lawyer and begin the legal process immediately.
They are thrown into a confusing world of legal procedure, forced to make reactive decisions without a clear, high-level strategy to guide them.
The biggest threat in a high net-worth separation often isn’t just what your spouse asks for—it’s what you don’t know you’re giving up. One misstep, made in confusion, can have consequences that are difficult to reverse.
Before you hire a lawyer or head into a courtroom, imagine first sitting down with a senior divorce lawyer experienced in high-stakes separations, focused on helping you see the entire picture, clarify your options, and plan your next moves strategically.

About Heidi Foshay Kimball
Family Law & Divorce Lawyer | Senior Partner, Kimball Law
I’m Heidi Foshay Kimball. For over 35 years, I’ve represented hundreds of Nova Scotians in their separations and divorces, handling my firm’s most complex, high-stakes matters that demanded creative, strategic solutions.
I have seen firsthand how easily people can be cornered into outcomes that didn’t reflect what truly mattered most to them…
Simply because they lacked a clear strategy and plan aligned with their best interests.
Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to receive new clients referred to me by:
Past clients
Friends and family
Peers and colleagues
But the ones that continue to surprise me most are Opposing Party Referrals…
People have come to me referred by MY clients’ ex-spouses — which remains one of the greatest compliments to my work!
I’m very grateful and proud of the career I’ve built, and the team of lawyers I’ve mentored, over these three decades of family law practice.
As I near retirement, I have decided to limit my practice and am no longer taking on new court cases.
However, I know many Nova Scotians are in need of the strategic approaches I’ve developed, so I now offer focused, one-time consultations for those navigating high-stakes separations.
This strategy-driven session is designed to give you clarity, an overview of your risks and opportunities, and actionable legal advice to protect what matters most—so you can move forward with confidence.
This isn’t just another meeting with a lawyer.
It’s a chance to gain a decisive advantage before the divorce process even begins.

Hiring a Lawyer Isn’t a Divorce Strategy — It’s Just the First Step
In a high-stakes divorce, simply “hiring a lawyer” is not a strategy.
It’s a first step that, without proper preparation, can lead you down a long and costly path – one that doesn’t necessarily end with you receiving the best outcome possible.
Most people enter divorce unprepared, trapped in confusion and reaction. They:
Receive a letter and feel pressured to respond immediately.
Provide information such as financial disclosures without understanding the consequences.
Get locked into positions early on that limit their options later.
Overstep in a moment of emotion, without seeing the long-term impacts.
Take seemingly harmless steps that hurt their case later.
Delay consulting a lawyer.
Delay or avoidance is not a strategy. It may feel wise not to rush things. But time gives you, and your spouse, opportunities to say or do things that escalate conflict, shifting the entire outcome of your separation.
Do not assume that all conflict is inevitable.
The key is to get advice early.
Words and actions, especially in emotional breakups, can change the course of your separation in ways that are hard to reverse.
When significant property, businesses, investments or other significant assets are at stake, this is a dangerous gamble.
What you say and do from the very start can shape the outcome.
It is in your best interests to get high quality legal advice as soon as possible, even if you have not yet chosen a lawyer to represent you or decided to take action.

How to Maintain Control in a 50-50 Legal Separation System
The legal system isn’t designed to protect what you’ve built; it’s designed to divide it.
That is a simple, unavoidable truth.
Yet not all outcomes are created equal.
Business valuations, tax liabilities, investment and retirement accounts, spousal support, parenting plans and custody agreements — all of these can be mishandled without the right legal strategy from the outset.
Instead of guessing or reacting, you can gain a realistic, strategic overview of what is — and is not — achievable under Nova Scotia’s family law framework.
There are ways to structure asset division, child and spousal support arrangements, and business protections more effectively, giving you more certainty about your future.
By starting with a focused, one-time strategic consultation, you can identify the key risks and opportunities early, and understand your options – before making any commitments.
You want to avoid the emotional cost and time wasted in a fruitless and expensive argument.
That is how you stay in control.
