Estate planning is not static and is increasingly complex. Often the plan stops short of providing for the kinds of solutions that are needed to deal with evolving family dynamics.
In business, disputes can be a fact of life. This can also be true for those involved in a franchise.
Mediation is a cost effective tool to address conflict as a non-adversarial alternative to litigation. Using mediation to resolve conflicts can serve to preserve relationships which may be vital to your business, to your stakeholders or to your personal well being.
Sadowski Resolutions Group remains committed to assist parties in the resolution of their disputes. Advocacy and Mediation may not always be possible or the most efficient.
Family Mediation involves these Three Stages:
Assessment Meeting
This meeting (sometimes called the intake meeting) is to explain the process of mediation and to give you an opportunity to ask questions as we want you to be comfortable with mediation. It is also important to assess if the issues are suitable for mediation.
Mediation Sessions
Mediation Sessions – during these joint or separate sessions you will discuss and negotiate the rules on how you and your ex- spouse will continue to live seperate and apart. The subject matters for mediation can include any combination of the following; Parenting, Custody and Access, Child Support, Spousal Support, the Division and Equalization of Family property, and the assignment of Family debt(s).
End of Mediation
At the end of the mediation process you will be given a Final Mediators Report setting out what the Mediator believes you and your former spouse are able to agree to at that point in time, including the reasoning behind your financial agreements. You should then take the Report to a lawyer (for Independent Legal Advice) prior to making the decision to proceed in any court process. You and your lawyer will always have the option to return to mediation at any time in the future.
