Facts about divorce Mediation

Divorce proceedings can be inherently challenging. However, by choosing the mediation process to finalize your divorce, these challenges can be effectively managed, regardless of their complexity. Divorce is a profoundly personal and difficult life event, and it is crucial to approach it with care and consideration. Utilizing a structured approach through mediation can lead to positive outcomes both now and in the future.


         On June 21, 2019, Canadian Parliament made changes to the Divorce Act  by designating divorce mediation and other forms of dispute resolution as a first choice, prior to bringing the matter to court. These changes apply as of March 1, 2021, and are options that mean you no longer are required to go to court for such matters as filing for divorce, or attaining mediated settlement agreements, all of which can be achieved through divorce mediation 


            Legal advisers are now mandated and have a duty to encourage their clients who are entering a divorce proceeding,  to try to solve their issues through a family dispute resolution process prior to preparing for court, unless it would be clearly inappropriate to do so.

About spousal support

Family Courts in Nova Scotia

 Under the federal Divorce Act, spousal support is most likely to be paid when there is a big difference between the spouses' incomes after they separate. However, this is not always the case. A court may decide that the spouse with the lower income is not entitled to support. The court may reach this decision if that spouse has a lot of assets, or if the difference in income cannot be traced to anything that happened during the relationship.
