Mediation
When communication is rough
And you could use a little help.
When every discussion ends in disagreement, compromise can feel impossible. Communication may have been difficult during your relationship, and separation can make it even harder. Neither of you feels heard, and you cannot find a way forward.
It's time to bring in a mediator.
When discussions reach a deadlock, mediation provides a calm, structured and professionally guided process to help you move forward. Your mediator helps you ask the right questions, understand each other’s perspectives and explore possible solutions. We help you make informed decisions about your future and your family.
Before your joint mediation session, we meet with each of you individually to help you prepare. You will each attend at least one private intake session and receive our specially designed mediation workbook, with practical exercises and examples to help you communicate, listen and negotiate effectively.
Our mediation process empowers you to make respectful, confident decisions that address your immediate concerns while supporting your family’s long-term future.

What is mediation
And how does it work.
1. Choose a mediation format
Will we meet together, in separate rooms or even locations, will you bring an adviser or support person, and will we hold one session or several shorter sessions.
2. Attend individual intake sessions
Each of you meets privately with the mediator to discuss the issues, possible solutions, desired outcomes and how the children are coping.
3. Identify what needs to be resolved
Mediation can cover parenting arrangements, property and financial matters, or both.
4. Take part in your mediation
Your mediator will guide the conversation, keep you both on track and help you find practical solutions. You will also build communication and negotiation skills that make future co-parenting decisions easier as your children grow.
The goal of mediation is to create a signed parenting plan or agreement that clearly records your arrangements, responsibilities and expectations. This gives everyone greater certainty and helps reduce future conflict.
