FAMILY MEDIATION SERVICES
Support for the Decisions That Shape Your Family’s Future
Family transitions often involve important decisions about children, finances, property, support, and the future.

FAMILY MEDIATION SERVICES
Mediation Built Around the Issues That Matter
Every family’s circumstances are different. Horizon provides mediation across five key areas, helping you address sensitive decisions through clear, productive conversations.
Parenting
If you and your separated spouse have children, parenting arrangements are often one of the most important and sensitive parts of separation. While your relationship as partners may be ending, your roles as parents continue.
Mediation can help you develop a practical, child-focused framework that provides greater clarity for both parents while supporting your children’s well-being.
Matters We Can Discuss
✓ Decision-making responsibility (custody)
✓ Parenting time, visitation and schedules (access)
✓ Communication between parents
✓ Travel and relocation
✓ Child’s education, health, culture and activities
Child Support & Expenses
Child support and the sharing of children’s expenses help ensure that children continue to receive financial support from both parents in a fair and consistent manner.
Mediation provides a transparent setting to review financial information, clarify responsibilities, and establish arrangements designed to remain clear as circumstances change.
Matters We Can Discuss
✓ Table child support
✓ Childcare expenses
✓ Medical and dental costs
✓ Extracurricular activities
✓ Post-secondary education
✓ Future adjustments of child support
✓ Health insurance and life insurance
Spousal Support
Separation can have a different financial impact on each spouse. Career decisions, parenting responsibilities, income differences, and contributions made during a relationship may all form part of the discussion.
Mediation creates a confidential environment to exchange financial information, consider relevant factors, and explore practical support arrangements.

✓ Entitlement to support
✓ Amount and/or duration of support
✓ Review or variation of support

Property & Debt Division
Separating finances can involve difficult decisions about property, assets, debts, and the financial responsibilities each person will carry forward.
Mediation provides a structured setting to organize financial information, discuss priorities, and work toward practical arrangements with greater clarity and transparency.
