what is a mediator?

A mediator is an impartial professional who helps the parties facing a crisis in their lives:
define the issues that they need to address

consider their different options
facilitate their ability to take charge of their own lives
make the decisions which reflect the needs of their family and of themselves

At the end of the mediation process, a written agreement will be prepared which will include all the decisions mutually agreed upon by the parties.

The mediator will advise each of the parties to have this agreement reviewed by a lawyer. This agreement will then be used as a basis for a lawyer to prepare the Separation Agreement.

what are the benefits of mediation?

a faster non adversarial process which avoids legal battles
reasonable cost

a process where the parties maintain control of the decisions affecting their lives and those of their children
confidentiality
a process which fosters communication and cooperation
