Child Support and Mediation

IT IS possible to mediate the issue of child support.

In other words, if parents cannot agree on who should pay it, for whom, in what amount and for how long, court IS NOT the only option.

MEDIATION gives parents an opportunity to have a dialogue about the issue of child support, with a skilled professional - the mediator - who will moderate their dialogue so each side gets a chance to say what they need to say.

TRY MEDIATION - it's seldom too late to give dialogue a chance....

WE MEDIATE!

We now offer mediation services.

May Ontarians are under the misconception that separation HAS to involve the Court.

THAT IS INCORRECT - we cannot make it plainer than that!

Separating spouses have A RANGE OF OPTIONS for addressing all issues arising out of their separation. MEDIATION is one of the available methods for addressing issues like kids, where they live, who makes decisions about then, support for a spouse and/or the children and all issues related to property division.

MEDIATION is a much more hands-on process than is a court proceeding. In MEDIATION, parties/parents have a much better opportunity to participate in decisions about their future, and the future of their children. In Court, most of such decision are handed to a stranger, a JUDGE. In MEDIATION, the parties, with the assistance of the mediator, have the opportunity to craft their own deal.

While MEDIATION is not appropriate for every case, it is a valuable option for MANY Ontarians.
