LawFact of the Day: Family Law

Here is your daily LawFact from Wise Law for Wednesday September 19, 2018.

Today we are talking about Family Law.

Many custody disputes in Ontario family law matters are now resolved through mediation, rather than court action.

Mediators work with parents to create parenting plans and residency schedules that are tailor-made to provide for children’s needs and for joint parenting. Both parties must obtain independent legal advice to finalize any agreement.
