Ontario leads the way with healthier options for divorcing couples:
New rules in Ontario take a progressive step away from Family Court, forcing people to learn about alternatives such as mediation, arbitration and collaborative law. Starting on July 18, 2011, Ontario couples are not allowed to get court time before attending the new information sessions.
The province's attorney general Chris Bentley explained that the rule is intended to help alleviate pressure on the family court system and to help divorcing couples save time and money: “Going to court and having a court battle in family proceedings can be enormously costly, take a lot of time and probably most significantly be very emotionally damaging to children and to the two individuals,” he said.
