family MEDIATION

During times of turmoil, it can be hard to have difficult conversations. Seasons Mediation recognizes the usefulness of having a neutral third party to help navigate through tough decisions with minimal suffering. While much of our mediation services focus around navigating divorce or separation, we offer a variety of other services that may help you navigate life’s relationship milestones.

 

PARENTING PLANS

Divorces involving children can be especially challenging. It can be difficult to make decisions that ensure the best interests of both parent and child. Seasons mediation assists, by helping to create a fair and reasonable agreement that protects the children, while providing a voice to all parties and minimizing emotional stress.

DIVISION OF DEBT ASSETS

Our mediators will facilitate communication to help with such issues as dividing debt accumulated during the relationship and the splitting up of assets such as the family home. By having a mediator present during this process, we help to minimize the conflict that often occurs during this part of a divorce.

PRE-COHABITATION AND
PRE-MARITAL AGREEMENTS

As mediators, we recognize that decisions regarding how to divide assets is much more difficult at the end of a relationship than at the beginning. We help mediate the conversation around pre-nuptial agreements, so that you know ahead of time what to expect in the event of divorce or death.

FAMILY BUSININESS

Many families are also business partners, which can be a great opportunity, but can complicate the development of business agreements. We mediate the development of business agreements for families to ensure your personal and professional relationships continue to run smoothly.

COUNSELLING

Whether you are still deciding if divorce is the right decision, or are struggling to come to terms with the end of a past relationship, we are here to help. Our team of counsellors will help you to understand your emotions, and take care of yourself from the inside out. Our holistic approach ensures great results in helping you realign your life, gain focus, and reach your full potential.

What are the objectives of supervised access?

To provide a safe, neutral and child-focused setting for visits between a child and non-custodial parent or other family members.

 

When is supervised visitation ordered?

Supervised visitation is ordered when parents are in high conflict or high-risk situations.  The noncustodial parent has access to the child only when supervised by another adult.  Supervised visitation is used to protect children from potentially dangerous situations while allowing parental access and providing support for the parent child relationship.

 

We have mediators on staff to assist in the negotiation and plan for your supervised visit, and they can also help with editing or creating your parenting plan.

 

Location:

We provide sessions in safe, neutral locations within our community, your home, or any other agreed-upon location between the parents or drop off site (park, restaurant, etc.).  Our Supervised Access Workers are experienced and meet all criteria.

 

Fees:

$50.00 /hr and an additional fee of $50.00 per report (if required).  If the Supervised Access Worker is required to come to your home mileage fees will apply.
