Mediation Can Help Smooth the Final Road to Divorce

July 27, 2016 by West Coast ADR

Divorce can be a turbulent experience for both parties involved, as well as any children a couple might share. This should come as no surprise to British Columbia residents who have experienced the challenges associated with divorce, particularly those of a contentious nature. However, many options are available to help smooth the road to a mutually-beneficial final agreement, including the services offered by divorce mediation.

In mediation, both parties retain their own counsel throughout the divorce proceedings, even if those proceedings are not brought before a court. This is important because divorce law can be extremely complicated, and the services of a trained attorney can help each spouse understand his or her rights and responsibilities under the province’s laws. However, when the time comes to hammer out the final details, so to speak, this is where the support of a mediator might be most welcome.

In mediation, the mediator acts as a neutral third party to help facilitate lines of communication between the spouses and their respective representatives. The intent of mediation is to help limit conflict and tension as the couple approaches the end of their road to divorce. This can be very helpful in cases in which children may have been involved in proceedings, as they tend to be most deeply affected by a contentious divorce.

Obviously, British Columbia residents will agree there is no one right way to conduct a divorce. However, in seeking information about mediation and other options to help ease the transition, a couple can work towards a more positive understanding and mutually beneficial solutions. This allows the entire family to move forward with their lives more quickly and efficiently.
