Free information session on parenting after separation

Proceedings

Each session is conducted by two experienced mediators, one working in the field of law and one in the psychological field. It focuses in particular on:

• the consequences of the break-up on members of the family: psychological shock caused by separation, needs and reactions of children, communications with the other parent, etc.  (90 minutes);
• the family mediation process and legal information (30 minutes).

The session ends with a question period. After the session, you receive:

• all the relevant documentation;
• an attestation that you have attended an information session, which will allow your case to be heard by the court if it is contested.

To attend a session, you must register with the Ministère de la Justice. Former spouses will not be registered for the same session, unless they request it. Each spouse can attend the session accompanied by a person of his or her choice. This person must also be registered in order to attend the session.

Several groups may be combined for a single session using videoconferencing equipment.
