The U.S. Federal Reserve just yesterday signaled that it is likely to ramp down the rate increases but that higher interest rates are here "for some time". The BOC is likely to follow the pattern of the US.

VOICE OF THE CHILD: In order to protect those that cannot speak for themselves, the Office of the Children's Lawyer advocates for childrens interests. The voice of the child can play a significant role in mediation.

CHILD SUPPORT: Generally, the continuance of child support is intended to remain in place until the child is self-supporting. There are a number of trigger events that determine this. Please reach out to us for more information - https://t.co/CHNXZhn2tk

Happy Labour Day!

There is a hybrid-option for separating couples termed #CollaborativeDivorcePractice whereby each spouse is legally represented along with a team of professionals working towards a common goal.

[Mediation LoungeTM @mediationlounge]

On the surface, compelling parties to #mediate may seem like a good thing. In many, if not perhaps most cases it may in fact be the best option. However, unless there are safeguards that address power imbalances it may put into question the merit of #compulsorymediation.

[Mediation LoungeTM @mediationlounge]

When parties that are in disagreement want to work towards a common goal it is essential that they do so without being in a weaker position then the person they are #mediating with. Sources of power imbalance must be screened and addressed by the mediator you are working with.

Happy Emancipation Day to the #workers that keep our economy moving during the best and worst of times!

TYPES OF MEDIATION: Did you know that there are different methods by which a #mediator conducts a #mediation? One important consideration is the subject matter. Highly complex or technical issues are mediated differently than relatively simple or issues of a personal nature.

ASSSET VALUTION PATTERNS: Often, the most valuable assets between separating couples are the value of real estate holdings. Our background in asset valuation gives you the added assurance you are in good hands with us mediating your matter.

A child seeing their parents separate causes many emotions. However, listening to their needs/wants helps quell the stress. This is accomplished through a "Voice of the Child" report. It is a formal process where the children's views are considered. #voiceofthechild

DISCLOSURE: Full and complete financial disclosure is essential in mediation. The better the disclosure the less questions and uncertainty, which pushes the parties towards agreement. #mediation #financialdisclosure
