Qualified Mediator
Mediators assist and empower parties to reach an agreement on issues, such as:

support payments
-
dividing property
-
parenting time or decision-making responsibility in respect of children
Mediation may be used:
-
to avoid going to court
-
before you start a court case
-
any time during a court case
Mediators do not:
-
take sides
-
make decisions
-
give legal advice
Mediators can be:
-
licensed mental health professionals, legal professionals, or other qualified professionals
For mediation to work, you need to:
-
be willing to try to work out a solution with the other person
-
feel safe meeting with the other person to talk about the issues
-
be able to talk about your needs and listen to the other person’s concerns
A mediator does not take the place of a lawyer.
You should get independent legal advice before and throughout the mediation process to understand your rights and obligations.
If you and the other person come to an agreement, you should both get advice from different lawyers before signing the agreement to make sure that it is legally binding.
Your lawyer can also be involved in your mediation but does not have to go to mediation with you.
