Understand the process and benefits of divorce mediation.

Divorce mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral third-party, the mediator, helps the divorcing couple to resolve disputes amicably. The mediator facilitates communication and negotiation, allowing both parties to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement in a less adversarial setting than court proceedings. Mediation can address issues such as property division, child custody, and spousal support, and it often results in a quicker, more cost-effective resolution compared to traditional litigation. In Ontario, divorce mediation is seen as a preferable method due to its focus on cooperation and preserving relationships, especially when children are involved.
