What is family mediation?

Mediation is a process designed to provide explanations and to validate, to share and to obtain information. The goal is to find solutions based on everyone's interests. Family mediation takes into account the needs of everyone that is affected by the separation, as well as the children's best interests.

Family mediation is a process during which an accredited professional helps couples come to an amicable resolution of all types of conflicts that may result from a separation.

It is intended for legally married couples, de facto spouses and conjugal partners.

We offer two types of family mediation:

• Government-funded mediation (funded by the Ministère de la Justice du Québec);
• Non-funded mediation.

You can consult our pamphlet "La médiation familiale, c'est pour vous?" to learn more.
