In every family and anywhere in the world, there is always someone who cares deeply about maintaining peace and harmony of the nucleus in the most difficult moments. Canada is no exception, here there are many immigrants who need to solve problems about child custody, child support, division of property and more, but do not know how and under what effective tools.
That is why today I will share this guide on how to resolve a family conflict with mediation sessions. If you are facing a serious problem in your family, read with me to the end and learn how to solve conflicts at home. Let's get started!
Family mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process designed to help families find amicable and mutually satisfactory solutions without resorting to court proceedings. This is a service facilitated by a professional, impartial and trained mediator whose role is to guide the dialogue between the parties involved.
This resource focuses on communication and cooperation among family members. Its main objective is to resolve disputes related to issues such as child custody, child support, property division, inheritance and other family conflicts. It is a confidential and voluntary process, which means that the parties participate by choice and the details discussed are not shared outside of the sessions.
Family mediation is an effective method for resolving conflicts within the home through the intervention of a professional who facilitates dialogue between the parties involved. Its objective is to find solutions to restore harmony and improve coexistence.
In Canada, family mediation is a service regulated by provincial laws, which means that its implementation and dynamics may vary from region to region. In some cases, courts may recommend or even require parties to participate in mediation sessions before proceeding with litigation. This is done to encourage amicable settlements and reduce the burden on the court system. Provinces such as Ontario and Quebec have well-established systems that integrate mediation as part of legal proceedings related to separations and divorces.
From the initial contact of the interested parties, through the identification of the problem(s) to the negotiation and generation of options, mediation is a wise and legal way to reach agreements that, if accepted, are formalized in a document duly drafted by a Canadian family law lawyer.
The opposite service to mediation sessions is court litigation. Unlike mediation, which seeks to resolve conflicts amicably and collaboratively with the help of an impartial mediator, litigation involves bringing the case before a court, where a judge makes binding decisions for the parties involved.
Depending on the complexity of the conflict and the resolution capacity of the parties involved, the dynamics may or may not lead to choosing mediation sessions rather than court litigation.
Once the mediation sessions have been chosen to take control of the decisions affecting their family life in the new country, the members involved will be able to gain advantages such as the following:
At the end of the conflict, the parties involved will be able to manage a more harmonious integration into Canadian society.
