Yes, couples in Ontario can split assets amicably through mediation and collaborative methods
Dividing matrimonial assets amicably is not only possible but highly recommended in Ontario divorces. Working with a divorce mediator or Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) can help facilitate a smooth process while saving time and money.
- Mediation allows couples to maintain control over asset division decisions
- Professional mediators help ensure fair and equitable distribution
- The collaborative approach typically costs less than litigation
- Amicable settlements often lead to better post-divorce relationships
- Both parties can receive independent legal advice throughout the process
Once an agreement is reached, the terms can be formalized in a separation agreement and submitted to the court as part of the divorce proceedings.
