"Mental Health Law & Family Law"
Guest, Lisa Feldstein.

Andrew is joined by special guest, Lisa Feldstein. Lisa Feldstein is the principal lawyer at Lisa Feldstein Law Office and practices in the area of Family Health Law, which includes providing advice in the areas of health and fertility law.

Lisa is also the founder of Kinkeeper, an online educational platform for family caregivers. Lisa frequently writes and presents about health law matters and has been widely published and interviewed in media outlets such as the National Post, Global News, CTV, Vanity Fair, Macleans Magazine and the CBC. She teaches Health Care Law as an Adjunct Professor at York University.

Lisa joins Andrew to discuss the various ways that mental health law intersects with family law. Specifically, they discuss common capacity issues that arise in family law proceedings, what you should do if you believe your spouse requires a guardian in the midst of your separation, and what you can do if you believe your ex-spouse is suffering from poor mental health.

About Andrew Feldstein:
Andrew Feldstein graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1992. Prior to focusing exclusively on family law, Andrew’s legal practice covered many different areas, including corporate commercial. One of Andrew’s fundamental objectives is to achieve those goals mutually and collaboratively, as set out by him and his client.

Through the years, Andrew has demonstrated his skill and commitment to his clients. In 2010, he was honoured with an inaugural appointment to the Dispute Resolution Officer (DRO) Panel for Newmarket. This appointment was made by the Senior Family Justice for Ontario (The Honourable Madam Justice Mary J. Hatton) and the Regional Senior Judge for the Central East Judicial Region of Ontario (The Honourable Mr. Justice Michael Brown). Lawyers appointed to this Panel function to support the family law court process by aiding couples in attempts to resolve their issues before their case proceeds before a Judge. Andrew was selected for this appointment because of his vast experience with and successful ability to resolve complex family law issues using alternatives to the traditional court methods, including the collaborative family law process.

Andrew actively supports current law students, education, and the legal profession by volunteering as a mentor for the Osgoode Hall Law School Mentor Program. His ongoing dedication to the students of Osgoode Hall Law School has resulted in extremely positive student feedback. Andrew is the Chair of the Articling Committee at Feldstein Family Law Group.

The #AskAndrew program appears LIVE monthly on the Feldstein Family Law website, Facebook page and YouTube Channel.
