Mediation Services
Mosaicstone Law
There are many paths to the resolution of a Family Law case. One highly effective way to resolve disputes during separation or divorce is through family mediation. Mediation is typically more cost-effective and faster than going through the Court system—especially litigation. Resolution through mediation generally results in improved preservation of assets and relationships.
At Mosaicstone Law, we are highly trained and experienced in results-oriented mediation techniques. We strive to create a safe environment for you and your spouse to discuss and reach agreement on all aspects related to your separation or divorce. We facilitate an outcome based entirely on the needs of the family so the decisions and choices made support you all well into the future.
Creating a Plan for Your Future
Today, many separating couples recognize there are viable alternatives to a combative, costly process and choose to work together to create a plan for their future apart. Mediation is a confidential negotiation facilitated by a neutral third party—a mediator. The parties meet with the mediator, either on their own or with the assistance of their respective lawyers and work towards achieving a settlement.
Mediation allows the parties to create an agreement that is uniquely workable for them. Most people are happier with an agreement they have made than having a decision imposed upon them. The adversarial “win-lose” nature of the Court system is not well suited to Family Law where people need to continue to work together as parents to their children for many years.
With extensive experience representing clients in mediation, Mosaicstone Law’s trained mediator is a member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Alberta (ADRIA), and has helped many clients achieve workable and satisfying agreements that preserve the ongoing working relationship of the parties.

Expedient and Cost Effective
Mediation is generally a more expedient, cost effective alternative to a contentious, drawn out separation or divorce. The mediation process involves an independent, third-party, called the mediator, meeting with both spouses (and sometimes their lawyers) to work through the details of the separation or divorce agreement.
Successful mediations require both parties being open to compromise and a willingness to really hear what the other is saying. While agreement between the parties isn’t always immediate or easy, a skilled mediator can facilitate respectful discussion to achieve an acceptable resolution.
Ultimately, taking a mediation approach to your separation or divorce can minimize stress, preserve family relationships and maintain lines of communication open between you and your spouse, which is particularly important when children are involved. Mediation facilitates a private and confidential resolution with no public record of what happens in your sessions.
Mosaicstone Law offers mediation services by a highly trained, experienced legal professional who takes an unbiased approach with the goal of ensuring the needs and wants of both parties are acknowledged and respected.

Mediation Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on the parties and the issues involved. Generally speaking, mediation is much quicker and more cost effective than going to Court.
Mediations are always conducted "without prejudice" meaning you can discuss things and make offers that can't later be held against you. Only once the agreement is made in writing and signed is it legally enforceable. But it is a good idea to explore options during mediation so that you have the best chance of reaching a settlement.
We still have all of the other options available such as going to Court to resolve your issues. Attending mediation does not mean you have to reach a settlement if you can't but it's a great place to start.
