Local Legal Review: This guide was reviewed by Deepa Tailor, Senior Family Lawyer, to ensure relevance for families in the Region of Peel (2026).
Why Choose Mediation in Mississauga?
Family Court in Peel Region (Brampton) is one of the busiest in Canada, often resulting in significant delays for trial dates. Divorce Mediation allows Mississauga couples to bypass these court backlogs, resolving custody and property disputes in months rather than years, often at a fraction of the cost.
3 Ways to Mediate in Mississauga
Closed Mediation
Strictly confidential. If mediation fails, discussions cannot be used against you in court. Best for open negotiation.
Open Mediation
The mediator can report back to the court or arbitrator if the process fails. Useful when you need a record of conduct.
Med-Arb
A hybrid process. You try to mediate first; if that fails, the mediator becomes an arbitrator and makes a binding decision for you.
Do I Need a Lawyer for Mediation?
The mediator is neutral. You need someone on your side.
Before Mediation
Tailor Law prepares your Financial Statement (Form 13) and coaches you on strategy so you don't agree to less than you deserve.
After Mediation
We provide Independent Legal Advice (ILA). We review the mediator's 'Progress Notes' or 'MOU' and convert them into a binding Separation Agreement that the courts will enforce.
