Mediation for Couples
250-386-4331   Toll Free 1-877-386-4333

Mediation is a process that fosters collaboration, providing a framework for settling disputes that may arise in the future. Mediation will provide clients with improved communication and negotiation skills.

Why mediation?

The benefits of mediation include:
  • Promotes communication and cooperation
  • Enables clients to control the decisions that affect their lives
  • Benefits children by helping parents focus on their children’s needs
  • Reduces conflict
  • Costs a fraction of the price of conventional litigation
  • Quicker than conventional litigation
  • Fully confidential

How can it help?

Clients may have a variety of family law issues they are seeking help in resolving, such as their living and parenting arrangements, their financial arrangements, as well as dealing with property and debt.

Mediation may be able to assist clients who:
  • still live together but anticipate separation;
  • don’t live with each other but are expecting a child and wish to discuss parenting;
  • have no children, but have property or debt issues;
  • are uncertain or cannot reach agreement about involving their child(ren) in counselling;
  • struggle with specific issues such as holiday or travel scheduling, or extra child expenses;
  • want mediation to assist with relationship issues in order to stay together.

While some agreements may be reached in one or two sessions, the average length of time to reach an agreement is four to eight hours. Every situation is different.

Fees

Mediation fees are based on a sliding scale, and they take your annual income, assets, and number of dependents into consideration.
The fee range goes from $50/hour to $115/hour.
