Get educated. Mediation led by a lawyer is not the same as mediation led by a mediator, and since January 2026 the expectations set out by the courts are different.
Free, confidential consultation. Talk to Linda about your situation.
As a mediator with over 18 years of experience in this industry and a lengthy divorce of my own, I’m here to help you understand your finances and divide them fairly.
Some of the topics that could be relevant to you are:
Gather your marital financial documents. Think of all of the accounts that make up your marital pie:
Accept that you don’t know what you don’t know, and that’s okay. You’re not supposed to know everything at the start of this huge transition. Let your chosen professional walk you through the process step by step. Ask a lot of questions, and get educated before you make any major decisions.
Getting help early after deciding to separate or divorce is essential. Choose to be part of the process (mediate), not a result of the process (litigate).
Have questions about your situation?
Every separation is different. Book a free, confidential consultation or call Linda at 403.460.2800 to talk through your options.
I’ll walk you through a fair and affordable process, working with you independently, so you’ll feel grounded again before you finalize an agreement.
One of my biggest fears was that I didn’t have anything to do with our family finances while I was married. My husband took care of them, which only made me feel more scared. When I talked to Linda on the phone I felt like it didn’t matter, and that she’d help me understand what I needed to know.
Linda really listened and made me feel comfortable in a calm atmosphere, and she took the time to help me by giving me options. I really appreciated not feeling dumb when I asked questions, and she made me feel like I’d be okay.

Common topics include pensions and splitting CPP credits, shares and stock options, your primary home, secondary properties, registered and non-registered investments, and pre-marriage property and other exemptions.
Think of all of the accounts that make up your marital pie: investments, bank accounts, business information, tax returns, paystubs and credit cards.
Absolutely. Linda has helped many clients in exactly this position, working with you independently and walking you through each topic until you understand what you need to know before you agree to anything.
No. A litigator acting as a mediator can’t give either of you independent legal advice, and the fees and length of the process often stay the same. Learn more about mediation vs litigation.
