Ontario Family Mediation
Structured Process
Clear Next Steps
Separation involves more than signing papers
The matrimonial home
Who stays? Sell or buy out? What happens to the equity?
Parenting Schedules
Decision-making responsibility and arrangements for the children.
Child support
Working out what's fair and what Ontario guidelines require.
Spousal support
Understanding entitlement, amount and duration.
Assets, pensions and investments
Dividing what you've built together.
Debts and financial disclosure
Getting a full, honest picture before decisions are made.
Mediation helps you work through these issues together. Each of you should still get independent legal advice before finalizing anything.
Divorce does not have to become a courtroom battle.
Mediation can provide a structured setting for working through separation-related decisions together, with a neutral mediator guiding the conversation and keeping communication practical. Rather than two sides preparing for a fight, you and your ex-partner sit down, work through each issue in order, and aim to reach decisions that reflect what actually works for your family. For many couples, this approach may help reduce unnecessary conflict along the way.
Mediation isn't the right fit for every situation, and it isn't legal advice. It doesn't replace the independent legal advice you and your partner should each get before signing anything. What it does offer is a calmer, more private setting to work through these decisions, so that when you do involve a lawyer, much of the groundwork is already in place.
Mediation may be right for you if…
You and your spouse have decided to separate, or are seriously considering it.
You have a home, finances or other assets that need to be divided or worked through.
You need to make real decisions about parenting time, decision-making responsibility or support.
You'd rather reach an agreement together than have one imposed on you.
You're both willing to sit down in a structured process, even if things feel tense.
You want clarity on the cost and the steps involved before you commit to anything.

FAQ
How does divorce mediation work in Ontario?
You and your spouse meet with a neutral mediator who helps you work through the decisions that come with separating, from parenting time to property to support. The mediator doesn't take sides or make the decisions for you; they guide a structured process so you can reach your own agreement.
Do both spouses have to agree to mediation?
Yes. Mediation works because both people are willing to sit down and work through the issues together. If one spouse isn't ready or willing, that's worth talking through before you begin.
