Co Parenting Agreements Ontario
Co-Parenting
Agreements
During the Co-parenting Mediation session, we emphasize the importance of having a solid Co-Parenting Agreement in place – not only to help parents avoid future conflict, but for the health and well-being of the children. Our goal is to help you create a plan that reflects the needs and interests of your children. This will ensure that your children have the opportunity to thrive in an environment where the foundations lay on strong and respectful co-parenting practices.
With an appropriate Co-parenting Agreement any issues with co-parenting rules that may arise, can be greatly reduced. Research has shown that a child can best cope with their parents separating or divorcing when good co-parenting plans are in place. Typically, many parenting rules and expectations remain the same after a separation or divorce; however, there are endless factors for both parties to consider and review once the separation has occurred.

Plans
Spending the time and energy creating a Parenting Plan is very important. It will not only help to create a routine and schedule for you and your children after separation but be there as a reference if disputes arise in the future. Figuring out a schedule template for you kids and family can depend on a lot of factors.
When parents have difficulty communicating but are still able and willing to jointly participate in their children’s lives, a parallel parenting plan may make the most sense and create less opportunity for conflict to arise. The theory around a parallel parenting plan allows parents to have space from one another, limit communication and gradually build trust and put aside past hostilities.

Litigation VS. Family Mediation
Cost
$24,000 to $90,000 per couple, depending on the complexity of the situation.
$2,140 to $7,060 per couple, depending on the complexity of the situation.
Expectation
Lawyers cannot definitively tell you what it might cost to “win” your entitlements and how long the litigation process will take.
Before mediation, you will be made aware of the cost and timeframe up front.
Timing
Pre-trial alone can take a year and half and will require you to pay your lawyer throughout, regardless of whether your case goes to trial. A full trial can take anywhere from six months to several years.
With mediation, you can reach an agreed upon resolution in as little as two weeks.
Process
Both parties compete for all assets, including custody of children.
Both parties will be guided to finding middle ground regarding how various assets will be divided.
Privacy
If you go to court, you will be revealing intimate details of your life, finances, and relationship – all on record and publicly accessible.
With mediation, any intimate details or information you provide remains completely confidential and sealed away forever.
Decision
In family court, a judge will decide your future.
Through mediation, you and your ex-partner will decide what is best for each other and the future of your family.
