Family Mediation
We work with families to navigate the processes of separation or divorce. We are qualified under the Family Law Act of BC to offer family mediation, including parenting arrangements, child support and spousal support.
Family mediation is almost always a more empowering, efficient and cost effective choice compared with litigation (lawyers and court). As non-lawyer mediators, we know it is possible to move forward collaboratively, rather than the costly and oppositional approach of litigation.
We recognize that in many situations, notably when children are involved, parents will need to transition into a new form of relationship in order to provide an ongoing, stable life for your children. We strive to not only facilitate an amicable agreement, but also to provide the groundwork for a new ongoing parenting dynamic that is positive for everyone.
Our mediation services provide an opportunity for you to create a separate but collaborative future, through your own choices together, rather than the through the combative process of litigation.
We are also uniquely experienced to assist with family conflict surrounding the start and end of life. Sarah is an experienced childbirth educator with many years of experience guiding parents, and Whelm is an experience grief counsellor with many years of experience guiding individuals and families before and after the death of a loved one.
