Family mediation is a voluntary, cost-effective alternative to court proceedings for couples navigating separation or divorce. A neutral, accredited family mediator meets with both parties to guide open discussion and help reach a mutually acceptable agreement without the adversarial stress of litigation.
Mediation can address:
Divorce and separation terms
Parenting time and custody arrangements
Child and spousal support payments
Division of family assets
Both parties consent: Mediation is entirely voluntary and requires the agreement of both spouses or partners.
Sessions with a mediator: An impartial mediator facilitates structured, respectful negotiations.
A written summary is prepared. Once an agreement is reached, the mediator drafts a formal summary of the terms.
Legal finalization: The parties may then sign a Consent to Judgment, which is homologated (legally confirmed) by the Quebec Superior Court, making the agreement legally binding.
Significantly lower legal costs than going to trial
Faster resolution by avoiding lengthy court delays
Preserves relationships, especially important when co-parenting
You stay in control. Decisions are made by you, not a judge
