Mediation.

Family mediation is a non-adversarial, solution-focused way to resolve family issues such as separation, divorce, parent/teen relationships, adult child and parent issues. Mediation provides you with an opportunity to face the issues to be resolved, directly without risk, while you identify and address the unresolved conflicts that get in the way of negotiating a successful agreement. Family Mediation can significantly help reduce the pain, time, and expense of finding solutions. Study after study shows that mediated agreements result in less litigation than imposed court judgments.

As an experienced mediator with a master’s degree in conflict resolution, Joan will help you reach reasonable agreements around all aspects of separation. She will act as your neutral guide, helping you address issues including child and spousal support, parenting plans and equalization of assets and debts. Joan provides her clients with comprehensive and customized guidance and support throughout the process to a resolution that is co-authored by you both. Using the same software as Ontario lawyers, Joan will then provide you with documentation regarding all areas of agreement.
