When parents separate, it is essential that they make wise decisions about the consequences of their break-up, especially with regard to the well-being of their children. Emotions run high and couples need guidance in making decisions about their new life plans and their role as parents. This is where family mediation comes in. Family mediation allows couples with common dependent children to benefit from the services of a professional mediator who can help the parties in conflict to build their own solutions. It re-establishes communication between former spouses in order to repair their relationship for the well-being of the child or, more generally, to allow them to continue to live together in the most harmonious and peaceful way possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law students from the Faculty of Law, Civil Law Section, at the University of Ottawa met with two experts to learn more about this method of resolving family disputes. They realized how essential it is for parents of dependent children to be aware of the possibility of mediation, as this approach is particularly useful in maintaining an ongoing relationship with their former spouse in the best interests of the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this video, Debra Shapiro, a lawyer and family law mediator at Green Glazer Lawyers in Montreal, presents the different approaches to successful mediation. In addition, Doreen Brown, a family lawyer at Green Glazer Lawyers, shares her experience with separation and divorce cases involving dependent children and how mediation can avoid the disadvantages of litigation, such as emotional stress, high costs and long delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going to court in family matters is particularly difficult for all parties involved, especially for issues involving children such as custody, access or support. However, litigation is not the only option in a family dispute. Students in the faculty of law have been interested in family mediation as a way of resolving disputes that allows the parties in conflict to find a solution on their own instead of leaving it in the hands of a court, all in the best interests of the child. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":97130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[78,8,218,135],"class_list":["post-97139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-knowledge","tag-access-to-justice","tag-family-law","tag-mediation-en","tag-student-project"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":27,"label":"JuriKnowledge"}],"post_tag":[{"value":78,"label":"Access to Justice"},{"value":8,"label":"Family Law"},{"value":218,"label":"Mediation"},{"value":135,"label":"Student Projects"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Me\u0301diation_familiale.png",1024,576,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"Amanda Buttice","author_link":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/author\/amanda\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":27,"name":"JuriKnowledge","slug":"knowledge","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":27,"taxonomy":"category","description":"Video publications about legal issues, highlighting the work of legal scholars or the activities of legal practitioners.","parent":0,"count":80,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","cat_ID":27,"category_count":80,"category_description":"Video publications about legal issues, highlighting the work of legal scholars or the activities of legal practitioners.","cat_name":"JuriKnowledge","category_nicename":"knowledge","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":78,"name":"Access to Justice","slug":"access-to-justice","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":78,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":26,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0"},{"term_id":8,"name":"Family Law","slug":"family-law","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":8,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":6,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0"},{"term_id":218,"name":"Mediation","slug":"mediation-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":218,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0"},{"term_id":135,"name":"Student Projects","slug":"student-project","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":135,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":23,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/101"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurivision.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
