Divorce Mediation - Your Alternative to the Courts

Separation Process

Are you facing divorce? Are you concerned about bringing your divorce proceedings in front of a judge, and basically giving up control over the dissolution of your marriage? Thankfully, there are other alternatives to standard court litigation when it comes to ending a marriage and settling all matters during the separation process. If you are contemplating divorce, then a process known as ‘divorce mediation’ might be the best choice for your situation.

What is Divorce Mediation?

With a mediation process to end a marriage, a neutral third party selected by both parties is brought into the picture to act as a buffer and help settle matters in the separation agreement. Mediators help to maintain a level of mutual respect among the divorcing couple so that the proceedings can generally go quickly, calmly and rationally. Each spouse has a great amount of flexibility and control over the negotiation process, and ultimately both agree in making the final decisions in regards to all things related to dissolving the marriage. An Oakville, Ontario divorce mediator will ensure that both parties are fully aware of their rights and responsibilities when it comes to settling marital matters.

What matters are dealt with in the separation process?

Many things are dealt with and settled during the mediation of the separation process, including:

• Distribution of property, including all assets and liabilities
• Distribution of business property
• Retirement issues (RRSPs, pensions, etc.)
• Taxes
• Child support
• Child custody
• Spousal support

Protecting Yourself and Your Family Through a Divorce

The process of a separation or divorce is never an easy one, neither for the divorcing couple nor for the children and immediate family. It’s quite common for emotions to run high during such a stressful time, which makes it more important than ever to have a neutral third party get involved to help make the process run smoothly.  You will want an experienced lawyer to discuss your options with and to ensure everyone is protected as you go forward.

The first stage of a divorce proceeding usually involves a separation agreement, where terms are negotiated between representatives of both parties in order to divide assets and property. When children are involved, they should be dealt with as delicately as possible within the separation agreement. All this usually must be taken care of before a divorce can be finalized in the courts.

Since the signing of a separation agreement affects you and your children for the rest of your lives, it’s crucial to understand all of the consequences associated with all of the decisions you must make in creating the separation agreement. This contract is legally binding, meaning that you are bound to the stipulations set forth within the agreement. Having a complete understanding of all the information contained within the agreement, and ensuring accuracy is of utmost importance.

For this reason, you need to be in touch with an experienced Oakville divorce lawyer who will make sure you are fully aware of all the stipulations outlined in the separation agreement so that you make sound decisions before your divorce is finalized.
