Saskatchewan Family-Law Mediation Guide

Mediation and legal advice are different roles

A neutral mediator helps both people discuss unresolved issues and explore terms. Hailee advises one person within her limited family-law licence; she does not act as the neutral mediator or advise both people in the same matter.

Unresolved terms may fit out-of-court advice and negotiation. Where neutral facilitation would help, Hailee can discuss a separate mediation pathway. Litigation or urgent court work requires a lawyer.

Choose the mediator independently

Jae Morgans is listed in Saskatchewan’s family dispute resolution service-provider registry as a Family Mediator. A registry listing is not government endorsement. Hailee confirms fit and availability before a referral or booking.

The mediator is independently engaged and confirms their own fees before engagement. Mediator fees are separate from Peace’s fees. Read the provincial registry.

Prepare information and questions

Bring the relevant disclosure, existing documents and a clear list of open issues. Hailee can help her own client understand the issues and prepare within the agreed service.

Professionals do not automatically share confidential information. Discuss consent, what may be shared and who receives it before information leaves your private client file.

Know what Peace’s fee covers

Mediation-Guided Resolution starts at $2,997 for Peace’s agreed work, with the mediator separately engaged and paid. Hailee confirms the exact preparation and document work in writing before it begins.

If you already have mediated terms or a memorandum, ask Hailee to review what exists and confirm the work still needed. Do not assume that every mediation record is already a formal separation agreement or that one published fee includes all later work.

Review advice and signing requirements

Each person should understand their own rights and obligations before signing. The other person obtains separate advice where appropriate. Property agreements may require separate lawyer acknowledgments.

Use the mediation-to-agreement pathway to discuss next steps. A neutral process or reached terms do not remove the need for professional review and applicable document requirements.
