Mediating your Divorce With a Lawyer Led Process -Changes to the process of couples facing divorce in Alberta since January 2026, now requires you to seek out a more peaceful resolve by way of mediation. This now eliminates the ability for couples to head directly to the courthouse or directly to a lawyer to litigate.
As you can imagine this isn’t the model most lawyers were taught, the adversarial approach to divorce is no longer what’s being supported by our courts. While all this discomfort is being felt in the litigation world, what’s likely not to change are the fees and the length of the process when using a lawyer led mediation process. A litigator who is now expected to ‘mediate’ is no longer able to provide either Party with Independent Legal Advice, nor is there to advocate for just 1 of the Parties. It’s definitely going to take some retraining and some time for adversarial litigators to get used to this new process.
Choose the professional to assist you carefully by attending free consultations until you find the right fit for you. There’s significant value in being a part of a process that you’ve maintained some control in, so that getting to the outcome reflects what you both could envision as being realistic. Studies show that when you’re involved in a process that you both work in to resolve a dispute, you’re far more apt to deem it as “fair.”
