Families coping with challenges such as divorce, separation, child custody and access can meet with a mediator to talk about these issues. Through mediation, you may be able to reach a mutual agreement that focuses on your child and avoids going to court. Family mediation is confidential and informal.
To use this service:
- one of the parties must have a gross income of less than $40,000 per year
- both parties must agree to participate
- there must be at least one dependent child who is either:
- under 18
- 18 or older and eligible for continued child support
Mediation can help with issues such as:
- parenting plans
- child support
- guardianship
- communication
- spousal support
- property matters
You can request this service, or you may be referred to mediation by Court, legal or family professionals.
