Our Professional Family Law Mediators Understand Every Aspect of Your Separation and Divorce.
Through Mediation Our Clients Reach Agreements That…
Achieve Better Outcomes, Resolve Disputes Faster, Reduce Costs Significantly.
Working with an accredited family law mediator, divorce separation and other family law disputes are resolved quickly, efficiently, and at a much lower cost.
The process of mediation is neutral, fair, and balanced.
Mediation creates outcomes that are far more likely to satisfy both the personal needs and legal requirements of everyone involved.
When completed successfully, mediation results in the creation of a fully enforceable agreement with the same legal weight as an order made in court.
At ClearView Conflict Resolution, all our family law mediations are conducted by Mr. Glen Evans – B.A., M.F.A., J.D., Q.Arb.
Glen is a highly skilled and experienced family law mediator, who is also a former divorce and family law trial lawyer. Glen also teaches courses in both family law and conflict resolution as an adjunct law professor.
As a result, Glen brings a tremendous amount of personal and professional knowledge, insight, and experience to the family mediations he conducts.
We can resolve every aspect of your family law dispute, including:
- Division of Property, Assets, and Debts
- Spousal Support
- Child Support
- Custody and Guardianship of Children
- Parenting Arrangements
- Parent or Child Relocation
- Common Law Relationships
- High Conflict Disputes
- High Net Worth Individuals
- Corporate Assets and/or Family Business(es)
- Pensions and Retirement
- International Jurisdictions
- Any other issue arising from a family law dispute.
Mediation can help clients clearly identify all of the personal concerns and legal issues that need to be resolved and included in their agreement — ensuring that nothing important gets missed or overlooked.
If requested, the mediator can also provide objective insights and evaluative feedback to the parties and/or their lawyers. This perspective can help clients “reality test” the ideas and solutions being discussed.
The mediator’s insight can also highlight alternative options for resolving or structuring things, depending upon the goals of the parties and the mediator’s knowledge and observations of what has worked well (or poorly) for other parties in similar situations or circumstances.
Avoiding prolonged legal battles can save tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees, and can get your separation or divorce fully resolved in a matter of weeks or months, instead of years.
Mediation is always a significantly less expensive, much more efficient, way to resolve family law disputes — especially when compared to courtroom litigation, or protracted discussions between legal counsel alone, that can go on for months and months, or even years.
The highly structured approach of mediation not only speeds up and focuses the process of reaching an agreement, it can also make it possible to find solutions to “deal breaker” issues that may have seemed hopeless or impossible at the start. This includes situations where “high conflict” personalities or circumstances are part of the equation.
Mediation is also considerably more flexible than courtroom litigation. This flexibility allows parties to create agreements with highly customizable solutions that are actually realistic and workable, and therefore far more likely to fully satisfy their individual needs and circumstances.

MORE ADVANTAGES OF MEDIATION:
Best For Children
Everyone involved in a separation or divorce is required, by law, to protect the “best interests of the children.”
Numerous research projects have determined that, due to its efficiency and less toxic nature, the best interests of children are most likely to be protected whenever parents are able to resolve their family law disputes “out-of-court.”
Mediation is a win-win for all concerned — especially children.
More Flexible With Better Outcomes
It is extremely rare for the courts to deviate from decades-old legal precedents and procedures. It is very much a “one-size-fits-all” approach to separation and divorce.
Instead of being bound by rigid courtroom rules and procedure, mediation allows:
A “modern, flexible, and forward‑thinking” approach to problem solving.
It’s “your family” and “your dispute.”
Let’s find “your solution.”
