Best Child Custody Lawyers in Oakville, ON

Mediation is much less expensive, less time consuming, and less hostile than family court/litigation. It keeps you focused on positive outcomes and common goals for the longer term, which is especially beneficial when it relates to children. With our expertise in family law, finance, and psychology, along with our specialization in conflict resolution, we can assist you with dividing assets, collaborating to agree upon terms, creating co-parenting plans, and ultimately, helping you find the middle ground.

A Separation Agreement is a contract between you and your ex-partner that clearly details the settlement of issues relating to your separation. Drafting your Separation Agreement is an administrative task and by doing so does not mean we are implying that we are lawyers and providing any legal advice. We strongly encourage any persons who are going through mediation to receive independent legal advice from a family law lawyer.

The average mediation typically takes 2 months, so long as clients have provided full financial disclosure and are both willing to make decisions promptly. However, the time frame is completely up to the clients. We have completed mediations in a matter of weeks, and others, over years; we work at the pace our clients prefer.

Mediators are here to facilitate conversations, explain the laws surrounding your separation, and draft Separation Agreements for you. Due to the fact that we are neutral third parties and not lawyers, we cannot provide legal counsel at any point during the mediation. We strongly recommend seeking independent legal advice throughout the process.
