MEDIATION - WORKING TOGETHER TO FIND A FAIR SOLUTION

Mediation is designed to help couples identify and find solutions to post-separation issues, which can include dividing assets and debts, figuring out a parenting plan going forward, and working out child and spousal support. A mediator does not tell you what to do, but they do help by suggesting resources, altering the dynamics, offering suggestions, and assisting with communication. Generally it is much easier to have difficult discussions and make better decisions with the help of a chartered mediator and work towards creating a MOU /  'MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING' that you can use as a legal document of your agreements, to create a separation agreement yourself or with the Mediator, or take to your separate lawyers.
