What
EVERYONE
gets wrong
about
mediation
(and how to get it right)
01
Mediation is
now the law.
The new Divorce Act insists
parents and the legal profession
use what they refer to as "Family
Dispute Resolution Processes."
02
...in other words,
mediation.
03
There IS a problem, though.
Everyone
knows that
mediation is
recommended for
divorcing couples who
need some help working
out the details of their
divorce.
What people
DON'T know
is why mediation works.
05
Or even
HOW it
works.
So we're here to help.
06
Surprise!
It's Quiz Time.
We have a little True/False
quiz to help clear up
confusion.
07
TRUE OR
FALSE?
Each spouse needs
a mediator.
08
FALSE.
Mediators work with
both spouses & are impartial.
09
TRUE OR FALSE?
A mediated agreement
can't be legally binding.
10
FALSE. It's not binding on its own,
but you CAN make it into a
legal document.
08
TRUE OR
FALSE?
Mediated divorces
take longer because
it adds a step.
09
FALSE.
We can condense a
3-year potential litigation
into a 3-hour mediation
session.

about getting
divorced in half
the time for a
third of the
cost?
