Frequently asked questions

What is mediation?

Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps individuals discuss their disputes and find common ground. It is often used as a means to resolve family disagreements or legal issues without going to court. This collaborative approach aims to foster understanding and mutual agreement.

Online mediation allows parties to meet virtually, using video conferencing technology. This format offers flexibility and convenience, allowing individuals to mediate from the comfort of their homes. Our mediators guide the session just as they would in a traditional in-person meeting.

While mediation itself is not a legally binding process, parties can enter into an agreement at the end of mediation that can be enforced by law. This ensures that the terms agreed upon are upheld, providing security for all parties involved.

Mediation is more cost-effective and faster than litigation. In addition, mediation provides a platform for all parties to express their concerns in a non-confrontational way and work towards a solution that meets the needs of all parties. 

Anyone with a dispute can participate in mediation. This includes individuals dealing with family issues, couples going through divorce, or businesses needing to settle a conflict. The process is designed to welcome all parties who seek a constructive outcome.

Preparation is key to successful mediation. Familiarize yourself with the issues at hand and think about what outcomes you hope to achieve. Our mediators will provide guidance and resources to support you. We want you to feel ready and comfortable during the session.

If you’re facing family disputes, mediation can provide an effective way to resolve issues amicably. It encourages cooperation and understanding, aiming for a solution that fits everyone’s needs. This approach often helps to preserve relationships, especially for co-parents.
