Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the mediators at Positive Solutions?
At Positive Solutions, our mediators form a balanced and experienced team dedicated to guiding families through separation with respect and clarity. We include senior accredited mediators, each with years of Ontario-specific family law experience, alongside newer practitioners undergoing mentorship. This blend ensures clients benefit from both deep legal insight and fresh, innovative perspectives.
Our senior mediators hold advanced credentials in family mediation and often serve on provincial committees shaping mediation best practices. They expertly navigate complex family dynamics, financial issues, and parenting challenges. Meanwhile, our newer mediators bring renewed energy, up-to-date training, and a supportive approach.
All mediators share a commitment to ongoing professional development and client-focused service. They adhere to our core values—Family First, Respect for All, Supportive Environment, and Extraordinary Service—ensuring each client receives empathetic, thoughtful support as they move through the separation journey.
How does the mentoring model improve client outcomes?
Our mentoring model pairs experienced mediators with newly trained colleagues to deliver high-quality mediation. Senior mediators supervise every step—intake sessions, finance disclosure, mediation meetings, and agreement drafting—to ensure procedural accuracy, legal compliance, and client satisfaction.
Newer mediators assist with research, session preparation, and document drafting, usually working under direct guidance. This ensures every case benefits from meticulous attention to detail and fresh ideas.
Clients receive the best of both worlds: proven expertise and innovative methods. This layered approach enhances problem-solving and communication strategies while maintaining rigorous standards. Our mentoring model also promotes the next generation of family mediators—clear evidence of our commitment to excellence and evolution in family services across Ontario.
What qualifications and certifications do your mediators hold?
All our mediators are accredited under Ontario’s family mediation standards, typically through recognized programs such as the Ontario Association for Family Mediation (OAFM). Many of our senior team members also hold advanced certifications—like Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) or Collaborative Family Law Specialist.
Training includes topics on impartial facilitation, equity in decision-making, emotional intelligence in family transitions, financial disclosure processes, and effective negotiation.
Every mediator at Positive Solutions stays current with continuing education, including updates to the Divorce Act, Family Law Act, and child support guidelines. We take our professional responsibilities seriously, maintaining strict confidentiality and adhering to ethical practices. This ensures clients receive trusted, expert guidance at every step.
How do your mediators handle complex cases—those involving high-conflict, children, or significant assets?
Complex cases require both experience and sensitivity, and our team is prepared for this. Senior mediators lead these cases, supported by a collaborative team that includes family therapists or financial experts, depending on need.
For high-conflict families, our mediators use structured agenda-setting, careful pacing, and conflict de-escalation techniques to keep discussions productive. In cases involving children, mediators prioritize respectful co‑parenting and children’s schedules, focusing on long-term stability.
When significant assets are involved, our mediators consult with Divorce Financial Analysts and use a methodical financial disclosure process to ensure transparency.
The combination of senior leadership, strategic resources, and trainee support gives clients confidence that even challenging situations are managed with skill, empathy, and a solution-oriented mindset.

When you choose Positive Solutions, you partner with a mediator team that is experienced, collaborative, and client-centered. Here’s how your journey typically unfolds:
- Intake with a senior mediator to understand your background and goals
- Joint mediation led by a team member, ensuring you receive consistent support and continuity
