How the Family Mediation Process Works
We follow a step-by-step model tailored for couples in Newmarket and across York Region:
Step 1: Free 15-Minute Consultation
We begin with a no-obligation call to determine whether mediation is the right path for you.
Step 2: Private Intake & Screening
Each person meets individually with the mediator to ensure safety, suitability, and to share background information.
Step 3: Mediation Sessions
We conduct respectful, joint sessions focused on productive discussion around parenting, finances, and future planning.
Step 4: Agreement Drafting
Your agreed-upon terms are written into a memorandum of understanding—a clear, plain-language summary of your agreement.
Step 5: Legal Advice & Finalization
We encourage both parties to seek independent legal advice before converting the memorandum into a legally binding separation agreement.
