Médiation
h
Au Québec, il est requis que les parties d’un divorce contesté doivent se familiariser avec le processus de médiation en assistant à une séance d'information avec un médiateur qualifié. La médiation est une alternative valable lorsque la priorité est le meilleur intérêt de la famille. Une solution optimale est toujours possible, mais se révèle difficile lorsqu’une partie est malhonnête et met ses propres intérêts en premier, comme c'est malheureusement souvent le cas.

Mediation is a viable alternative when the best interest of the family is given priority. An optimal solution is always possible, but proves to be elusive when one party is dishonest and puts his or her own interests first, as is unfortunately often the case.

Langue des procédures

Les tribunaux du Québec fonctionnent en français et en anglais. La Cour supérieure est une cour fédérale composée de juges nommés par le gouvernement fédéral, et le français ainsi que l'anglais sont les langues officielles. Presque tous les juges qui entendent des causes de droit de la famille à la Cour supérieure sont bilingues. Au cours d'une audience, la langue parlée dépend le plus souvent de la langue du témoin ou de la personne qui témoigne. Le témoin choisit quelle langue parler.
