AMICABLE, AFFORDABLE & CHILD FOCUSED
DIVORCE SOLUTIONS
MISSION STATEMENT
To help families navigate the divorce system with minimal damage to themselves, each other, and to their children.
We believe strongly that divorce is not the end of a family; it just means your family will look a little different. Let our team provide you and your family with a holistic service designed to reduce conflict and help you transition to your next chapter in a peaceful way
HOW DOES IT WORK?
With a dedicated team of experienced mediators and lawyers, we can help you keep your separation/divorce amicable, cost-effective and child-focused. Family Mediation is the only process that provides you with the most autonomy & control over the process, while giving you the opportunity to create an agreement that is tailored to your family's unique needs.
STEP 1: INDIVIDUAL INTAKE SESSION
Once you and your (ex) spouse agree to start the mediation process, each of you must first meet with your mediator(s) individually for 1 hour. This intake session will allow the mediators to understand the issues in dispute & how best to help you. A screening for power imbalances & domestic violence is also done at this stage.
STEP 2: MEDIATION SESSION(S)
Once you have both completed your intakes, you can start your first mediation session. Depending on the level of conflict, some families need 5 hours of mediation spread over 2 sessions, whereas other families 3 sessions of 3 hours each. You are always driving the process; we will help you create an agenda and prioritize the topics
STEP 3: SEPARATION AGREEMENT & REVIEW
For separating/divorcing families, we make sure to cover all of the topics you will need for a legally binding agreement, in mediation. These topics include: child support, spousal support, custody & property division. Once you have an agreement on all issues, we will draft a Separation Agreement for you. We then have a final meeting review the agreement together.
FAQ
WHAT IS MEDIATION?
Mediation is a dispute resolution process whereby a neutral third party (the mediator) helps (ex) spouses dissolve their relationship & plan their post-separation affairs.
IS MEDIATION BINDING?
If mediation is successful, then we can draft a separation agreement on your behalf. A separation agreement, when signed, is a valid legal contract and enforceable in court.
DOES THE MEDIATOR MAKE THE DECISION? AND DO I NEED A LAWYER?
No. The mediator is a neutral third party who helps to facilitate the discussions. Nothing is done in mediation without your consent! You do not have to hire a lawyer during the process, though it is recommended to consult a lawyer at some point so that you understand your rights & obligations under the law.
HOW LONG DOES MEDIATION TAKE?
It depends on your availability, the level of conflict between you and your ex-spouse & the amount of detail you need in your separation agreement. However, on average we find our clients spend about 6 hours in mediation spread over 2/3 weeks.
TESTIMONIALS
Eva is really knowledgable about how to be the best parent you can be post-separation. I am in awe at the way Eva reduced the conflict & helped me and my ex-wife create a parenting plan that is best for the kids.

Great for Co-Parents
After spending over $10,000 and 4 months with lawyers who never pushed our case forward, Eva settled the case in under a month and at a fraction of the price. I recommend Eva to everyone I know going through separation/divorce.

Eva, I was so nervous starting this process, but you made me feel calm and confident from the start. I really appreciate how patient you were with all of our questions and the support your provided throughout the process.

Patient & Supportive
Eva, you are a life-saver! I knew the separation was right but was terrified of the changes it would bring to my family. You were so supportive and really not only helped me, but the 4 of us move on in a healthy way. Thank-You!
