About the OAFM - Ottawa Chapter

The Ontario Association for Family Mediation-Ottawa Chapter is the regional affiliate of the official provincial organization and Family Mediation Canada. We are the organization which takes up the professional mission to foster a community where family mediation is the first choice in resolving family conflict.

Our membership is comprised of mediators from various professional backgrounds. We are united as caring professionals assisting individuals through the divorce and separation experience.

Family mediation is a process of facilitated negotiation in which a neutral third party professional assists individuals in the context of a separation or a divorce develop solutions to the issues facing them. The object of this process is to reach agreements in the following areas: parenting plans, child and spousal support and division of property.

These mediated arrangements are finalized as enforceable Domestic Contracts at the stage of recommended independent legal advice. Mediation provides a proven and viable option to families coping with the transition in separation and divorce.

Find out more about mediation and the opportunities that it may present with the assistance of a trained and devoted family mediator. Welcome to the world of WIN-WIN.

 
About the Ontario Association

The Ontario Association is governed by a Board of Directors representing the various regions in Ontario, and serves to promote mediation. Recent decisions by the Ontario Board include the approval of the designation of "Accredited Family Mediator" for practicing mediators, as well as the approval process for Family Mediation courses offered in Ontario. These decisions are valuable as they not only benefit mediators and trainees, but also serve the public at large.

The Ontario Board also recently established a Vision Statement for the Association:

"Fostering a community in which Family Mediation is the first choice for resolving family conflict."
