When separating or going through a family law dispute, you may not have to resolve every issue in court.

Mediation can provide a more collaborative way to work through disagreements with the help of a neutral third party.

Mediation isn’t right for every family or every situation. The right approach depends on factors such as the nature of the dispute, the level of cooperation between the parties, and whether there are safety or power-imbalance concerns.

Considering mediation? Understanding your legal rights before you begin can help you make informed decisions. Contact our family law team to discuss whether mediation may be appropriate for your situation: https://lisagelman.com/contact-us/

After a split, personal relationships are your choice as long as your kids are safe. 💬
Still, if a new partner begins taking over parenting tasks, it’s fair to address those limits.

In Ontario, a child does not automatically get to decide which parent they live with. Instead, parenting decisions are based on the best interests of the child.

A child’s views and preferences may be considered, and their age and maturity can be relevant. However, there is no specific age at which a child can simply “choose” which parent to live with.

Every family is different, and what is appropriate will depend on the circumstances.

If you’re separating and your child has expressed a preference about where they want to live, it’s important to understand how their views may be considered.

When conflicts arise, mediation offers a collaborative path guided by a neutral third person. If that doesn’t succeed, arbitration steps in with a binding outcome comparable to a judge’s decision ⚖️

Divorce doesn’t automatically favor one gender ⚖️
Courts weigh factors like income, custody, and care before deciding on support or property division.

One spouse saying “I don’t want a divorce” does not necessarily mean the divorce can’t happen.

In Ontario, you generally don’t need your spouse’s agreement to end your marriage. If one spouse wants a divorce, they may still be able to move forward with the process, even if the other spouse refuses to cooperate.

Understanding your rights and obligations early can help you make informed decisions about your next steps.

Thinking about divorce but your spouse doesn’t agree? You don’t have to navigate the process alone. Contact Gelman and Associates today to discuss your situation and learn about your options: https://lisagelman.com/contact-us/
