Mediation / Separation / Divorce
 


“THE WHEEL FOR MARITAL "UNCOUPLING" HAS ALREADY BEEN INVENTED: IT IS A POSITIVE, PROACTIVE PROCESS
– NOT A NEGATIVE AND REACTIVE ONE.”
-John Stapleford

So, you want to separate…

Why? This question is not intended to deter you in any way from separating. It is meant to encourage you to move beyond symptoms and to bring you to a greater depth of understanding of why you are doing anything – including leaving or staying in a relationship. As it is with all marital issues, separating from a partner with whom you have shared part of your life deserves respect, thoughtfulness and sensitivity.

John Stapleford and Associates can help you separate without the confrontation and adversarial conflict engendered in the classic “legal battle” that often occurs between two spouses. Our mediation services are conducted in a fair and honest agreement in a positive, proactive process where hurt is minimized. Life is too short for the adversarial process. Confrontation prevents a person from getting on with one’s life. The hurt and psychological damage can be so immense in the traditional legal argument that there is the danger that one can remain fixated in the past.

The wheel for marital uncoupling has already been invented: it is a positive, proactive process – not a negative and reactive one. We have been helping couples separate fairly, thoughtfully, and gently for over thirty years and we can help you as well.

Contact our Toronto office for more information and let us help you through this difficult transition.
