Family mediation provides a structured, confidential process for resolving conflicts outside of the courtroom. Whether it’s addressing issues related to separation, divorce, parenting plans, or financial agreements, mediation can promote understanding and cooperation in a non-adversarial environment.

Here’s what some of my clients have to say about their experiences with family mediation in British Columbia:

Client Case Study for Amy Robertson Mediation Services

" Thanks for the terrific session today by keeping us on track and moving the process forward.
I really can’t thank you enough for your professionalism in getting this together for us.
You made the process seem simple, even though we navigated some serious mine fields. Well done. "

- Client from Amy Robertson Mediation Services

When a couple decides to end their relationship it can be challenging to work together to develop future family plans and to agree on how to share what they accumulated together over years – at times it can be similar to navigating mine fields.

Mediation supported this family’s separation and divorce by using humour, collaboration, and my proven mediation process.

After having individual pre-meetings with each spouse and learning more about what was important to each of them we had a total of three half day mediation sessions over a two month period where we resolved issues relating to children, property, investments, excluded property, a business and support.

These clients left feeling lighter and ready to start their next chapter and left me with some very kind words.
