Are you married or common-law and separated? You will likely have to discuss and resolve issues related to the home in which you and your family were living at the time of separation. If you have tried, and your discussions have stalled, try family mediation. Often, the participation of a neutral third party, skilled at moderating dialogue and negotiations, can be immensely helpful and productive. It can lead to resolution!

When parents separate, children have the right to have their voices heard on issues affecting both their short-term lives and their futures - it's the law. How those voices will be elicited, and what weight they will have in discussions about them, depends on their age and stage of development. The voices of teenagers are sometimes overlooked - on issues that actually affect their everyday lives. All such issues can be negotiated in family mediation - including with the participation of the teenagers - in an appropriate way.
