PARENT MEDIATION CANADA

About Us

Marital breakdown is a time of enormous stress.

Children who are on the sidelines of the conflict can be confused, upset and angry at having their world turned up-side-down and often blame themselves for their parents’ breakup. Loving parents who see their children every day may now have to split their parenting time with their former partner. Couples who have worked very hard to accumulate assets must now find an equitable way of splitting them within the parameters of the law. Some may worry about their finances post-divorce.

These are difficult times. We understand. We’ve been helping couples through divorce/separation for over ten years.Many of our new clients are referrals from former clients. We’re proud of that.
