Peace Family Agreements
Mediation and your next legal steps.
Mediation and legal advice have different roles. Explore a separate mediation referral and how Hailee can advise one client or help prepare agreed terms within her licensed scope.

A prepared file. A supported handoff.
Ask Hailee about an appointment with Jae Morgans.
Jae Morgans is listed as a Family Mediator in Saskatchewan’s family dispute resolution service-provider registry. A listing is not government endorsement. Hailee confirms suitability and availability before a referral. The mediator is independently engaged and confirms their own fees before engagement.
Peace advises and negotiates for its represented client within Hailee’s licensed scope. Jae has a separate, neutral engagement. After agreed terms are reached, Hailee can help complete the legal documentation and confirm any independent lawyer, signing or filing requirements.
Saskatchewan’s approach
Resolve what you can. Keep moving forward.
Saskatchewan requires an early family dispute-resolution attempt for many family court proceedings. Mediation is one route, alongside other recognized processes; exemptions can apply for concerns such as violence or urgency. This does not mean every separating family must mediate.
In PeaceHub, your intake, disclosure, completed tasks and agreed scope stay in your file. You can download a portable package for an advisor you authorize. If mediation produces agreed terms, return to Hailee for documentation within her licensed scope. Signing, filing and enforcement depend on the agreement and applicable requirements.

A clear sequence, with each role kept separate
You do not have to organize every handoff alone. Peace helps guide the steps around the mediation process, keeps your own legal advice connected to the decisions being made, and helps move the result toward a clear written agreement.
Clear roles
Everyone stays in their own lane
This separation of roles is intentional. It helps protect each person's rights, keeps every professional independent, and keeps the process compliant.
Peace advises one client
Peace advises and negotiates only for its own client, within its licensed scope. Peace does not represent both people, and Peace is not the neutral mediator.
The mediator is neutral
A qualified neutral mediator helps both people talk. The mediator does not take a side and does not give either person legal advice.
The other person has their own advisor
The other person should obtain separate independent legal advice. One professional cannot protect both people's individual interests.
Information is only shared with proper authorization and remains subject to each professional's confidentiality obligations. Nothing about your file is passed between professionals automatically. You decide what is shared, and with whom.
Mediation is a process, not a guarantee. It can help two willing people reach terms, but it does not guarantee that an agreement will be reached, and everyone is not part of one combined team. Each professional is engaged separately and keeps their own responsibilities.
Is mediation the right step
When mediation may or may not fit
May be appropriate when
- Both people are willing to participate
- Important issues remain unresolved
- Both people are willing to exchange the information needed
- Neither person is asking the mediator to advocate for them
- The matter can proceed safely
- There is a genuine desire to reach an agreement
May not be appropriate when
- Someone refuses to participate
- There is an immediate safety concern
- Coercion or a power imbalance cannot be appropriately managed
- An urgent court order is needed
- Serious non-disclosure continues
- One person is using the process to delay
- The matter needs litigation or courtroom representation
If court becomes necessary
Trying an out-of-court process keeps your options open
Trying an out-of-court process does not prevent you from using a litigation lawyer later. If your matter moves beyond our scope, we can help organize a handoff of the materials that can properly be transferred. This may include completed financial disclosure, relevant documents, finalized agreements, issue summaries, and other appropriate file materials.
The litigation lawyer will decide what can be relied on, updated, or redone. Confidential or without-prejudice mediation discussions may not be transferable or usable in court.
