The Alternative to Ontario Divorce Lawyers
Divorce is a difficult journey. Online mediation is an alternative to costly lawyers and heartbreaking courtroom battles that can leave you financially and emotionally drained.
Our highly trained, compassionate mediators bring you and your partner together in a virtual setting to work out a separation agreement that reflects the best interests of everyone involved.
“I highly recommend South Simcoe Family Mediation. Jennifer is very compassionate, fair, and knowledgeable. Certainly a much better alternative to lengthy and expensive court proceedings.“
Division of Assets
Dividing property during separation can be complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. We make the process clear, fair, and efficient – helping you understand your rights, navigate the numbers, and reach a balanced outcome under Ontario’s Family Law Act.
Child Support Payments
When families transition, ensuring stable support for your children is essential. In Ontario, child support is guided by clear rules designed to create fairness and consistency. Our mediators are here to help you understand your rights and responsibilities, calculate the appropriate support amounts, and reach an agreement that protects your children’s best interests.
Parenting Plans
Parenting after separation can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. A thoughtful parenting plan helps reduce conflict, protect your children’s well-being, and bring structure and stability to co-parenting. Our mediators work with you to build a practical, flexible agreement that supports your family’s needs today – and as life evolves.
Spousal Support
Spousal support can be one of the most complex and sensitive aspects of separation. Whether you’re seeking or being asked to provide support, it’s important to understand your rights, obligations, and options. Our experienced mediator, Jennifer Curry, brings both legal and financial expertise to the table to help you reach a fair, practical agreement tailored to your unique circumstances.
Separation Agreements
Separating from a spouse is never easy, but having a clear, well-structured agreement can make the transition smoother for everyone involved. A separation agreement sets out how you will manage your finances, parenting responsibilities, and support arrangements, helping to reduce conflict and protect your future. Through mediation, we work with both parties to build an agreement that feels fair, practical, and sustainable – creating a strong foundation for the next chapter of your lives.
Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb)
When families need both the opportunity to collaborate and the certainty of a final decision, Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) offers an efficient, respectful path forward. Combining the best of both processes, Med-Arb helps you work toward an agreement – and ensures unresolved issues are decided by a neutral professional if needed. It’s a flexible, private, and cost-effective way to move beyond conflict and find closure.
Parenting Coordination
Even with the best intentions, co-parenting after separation can be challenging. Parenting coordination offers a practical, child-focused way to help parents manage disagreements, improve communication, and keep day-to-day parenting on track. With guidance from an impartial professional, families can reduce conflict, make decisions more smoothly, and create a more stable environment for their children.
Voice of the Child Reports
During separation and divorce, it’s easy for children’s feelings and perspectives to get lost in the process. A Voice of the Child (VOC) Report offers a respectful, supportive way to ensure their views are heard. By providing a safe, neutral setting for children to share their thoughts, VOC Reports help parents, mediators, and the courts make more informed, child-focused decisions about parenting arrangements – all while protecting the child’s sense of comfort, privacy, and dignity.
Cohabitation & Prenuptial Agreements
Building a life together is an exciting journey, and thoughtful planning helps ensure a strong, secure foundation. A cohabitation or prenuptial agreement provides clarity around financial matters, property, and future expectations – supporting a respectful and fair partnership. Whether you’re moving in together or preparing for marriage, creating an agreement through mediation can help you avoid uncertainty, protect your interests, and foster open communication from the start.
Mediation and the Law in Ontario
Mediation is preferable to the time-consuming, costly and often, stressful process of executing a divorce through attorneys. It’s important you both understand that mediation is not a legally binding service without both parties obtaining independent legal advice. For this reason our mediation package includes an independent legal advice session for both parties, a service that sets us apart from most other mediation companies.
