Walker Legal was great to work with. My simple divorce has taken over 4 years to complete. In only a few months, George was able to remove the ridiculous requests my ex wanted in the proposed separation agreement and corrected the errors of my ex’s lawyer’s prepared divorce documents to the court. Fast, excellent service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is mediation under Ontario law?
Mediation is a voluntary dispute resolution process where a neutral mediator helps parties discuss issues and reach a mutually acceptable agreement. In Ontario family law matters, mediation can cover parenting, custody, child support, spousal support, property division, and separation agreements. Mediation is an alternative to litigation and focuses on collaborative dispute resolution rather than court orders.
Most parties involved in family law disputes in Ottawa can mediate if both sides agree to participate. Mediation is appropriate for separating spouses, unmarried partners, parents dealing with parenting or custody issues, and other family members with disputes. Mediation may not be suitable where there is ongoing family violence, coercion, or serious power imbalances.
Yes. Independent legal advice ensures each person understands their rights and obligations under Ontario law before signing a separation agreement, marriage contract, or cohabitation agreement. A mediation lawyer reviews terms, explains consequences, and protects your interests.
The number of sessions varies by case. Some disputes resolve in one or two sessions, while more complex property or support matters may require several meetings and document exchanges.
Mediation can resolve parenting and custody, child support, spousal support, property division, cohabitation and marriage contracts, and the terms of a separation agreement.
Mediation allows parties to control the outcome with help from a mediator. Arbitration and court involve a third party making binding decisions. Mediation is typically faster, more private, and less costly than arbitration or litigation.
Yes. Properly drafted mediation agreements can be legally binding and enforceable in Ontario. Agreements can be modified by consent or, in some cases, by court order if circumstances change.
If mediation does not resolve the dispute, options include continuing mediation, using arbitration, or proceeding to court. Legal counsel helps determine the most effective next step.
Costs depend on complexity, preparation, and number of sessions. Mediation generally reduces overall legal costs compared to litigation. Fee structures are discussed during consultation.
Bring identification, income information, children’s schedules, asset and debt lists, existing agreements, and notes about priorities or concerns.
Mediation promotes practical solutions for parenting arrangements, child support, and property division. Agreements are tailored to your circumstances and aim to reduce future conflict.
Yes. Mediation is generally confidential and without prejudice, with limited legal exceptions.
Gather financial documents, identify priorities, and seek independent legal advice so you negotiate from an informed position.
Yes. Many mediators and lawyers meet separately with parties to ensure comfort, fairness, and effective communication during the mediation process.
