We specialize in divorce mediation that helps couples end their marriage without any unnecessary fuss.
Divorce mediation in Lethbridge is a process in which a neutral third party, known as a mediator, assists separating or divorcing couples in negotiating and resolving issues related to their separation or divorce.

Key aspects of divorce mediation include:
Overall, divorce mediation in Lethbridge aims to reduce conflict, save time and money, and create agreements that work for both parties, fostering a more amicable separation.
The purpose of the individual meeting is to:
1. Screen for appropriateness of mediation.
2. Create your customized financial checklist.
3. Answer questions, listen to concerns and discuss priorities.
After the individual meetings, you will meet together with your mediator and your spouse to discuss the terms of your separation. Each session focuses on a different topic such as:
1. Financials and the division of your property,
2. The co-parenting of your children,
3. Family support i.e. child and spousal support, and
other important information such as life insurance, medical and dental benefits, pensions etc.
Once the couple agrees on the terms of their separation, the mediator drafts the information into a Separation Agreement. The Separation Agreement will cover all agreements made in mediation. Both parties review this document, and take them to their lawyers for independent legal advice prior to signing their documents.
This mediation process is designed to be straightforward and respectful. The aim is to resolve the situation as peacefully as possible and end the marriage without any extra stress than there needs to be. By choosing mediation, you choose a way to reduce the stress and conflict that often comes with divorce.
Mediation is a far better and cheaper option when compared to traditional divorce. The cost and emotional well-being are highly in favor of mediation. The traditional divorce is more expensive and takes a toll on your mental health. Mediation is a relatively simple and streamlined process that saves you a ton of headaches. There are no court fees or extra lawyer charges for each hearing. In addition, the process is relatively short without the need for court-proposed dates that span over months.
When it comes to the emotional perspective, traditional divorce is far more taxing. Mediation, on the other hand, allows the couple the chance to resolve things peacefully without having to pay extra legal and court fees. This saves them the financial stress that affects their emotional well-being. This is key, especially when children are involved. In addition, the importance of privacy cannot be overstated when it comes to personal matters that warrant a private discussion.

During mediation, you can expect a series of structured yet flexible sessions where you and your spouse will discuss the terms of your divorce with the guidance of our mediator. The mediator will promote a healthy dialogue that will allow both parties to express their needs and concerns.
Typically, the cost of mediation is shared between the parties involved. This arrangement can be adjusted according to the specific agreement between you and your spouse.
Mediation is highly effective for couples willing to work together to resolve their disputes. However, it may not be suitable for all situations, particularly in cases where there is a significant imbalance of power or safety concerns.
