Bains & Company Family Mediation
Family mediation in Ontario is a voluntary, confidential process that helps families resolve disputes with the support of a neutral, trained mediator. It offers a respectful alternative to going to court, allowing parents, partners, or family members to make decisions together about issues such as separation, divorce, parenting plans, child and spousal support, or elder care.
The mediator does not take sides or make decisions, but instead facilitates open, balanced conversations to help everyone involved reach fair, informed, and mutually acceptable agreements—often more quickly and affordably than through litigation.
Mediation can be used at any stage of a conflict and is recognized by Ontario courts as a valuable step toward resolution.
