During her years of practice of more than 30 years in family litigation and in the face of the destruction of the families she assisted and supported as a lawyer, Me Gabrielle Azran wished to broaden her field of practice to put into practice family mediation as a means of conflict resolution within a couple.
She is now recognized as an experienced accredited mediator for the past ten years, and strongly advocates the use of mediation to resolve family conflicts.
Beyond the non-negligible fact that these are much less costly steps than family litigation, Mr. Azran also sees it as an effective way to preserve the respective feelings and mental health of the parties, while protecting, first and foremost, the interests of the children.
As she explains so well in her video on the subject of mediation, as a mediator, she tries to seek out the feelings of both parties in order to revive emotions that have faded and forgotten with the wear and tear of time. These emotions unequivocally help the resolution of the conflicts of a separating couple by soothing those who tear them apart and animate them with revenge. In mediation, the parties will seek the best of themselves, this strategy greatly contributes to the settlement of any dispute between them, whether emotional or financial, whether it concerns the custody of children or the division of assets accumulated through their union.
The settlement of a divorce or union, brought about by healthy negotiations, inevitably affects the couple’s future relationship by preserving mutual respect, thus often avoiding plunging into emotional situations affecting their mental health.
Ms. Azran’s experience in human relations and psychology is also significant in the use she makes of them in negotiation and conflict resolution.
Qu’est-ce que la médiation familiale ?
Family mediation is a method of amicable conflict resolution that allows people who are in a situation of marital breakdown to discuss the possibilities of settling their disputes without necessarily going to court. This process is available to both divorcing and common-law partners.
Mediation will allow the parties, with the help of a neutral and impartial third party that is the mediator, to resolve conflicts during a divorce application, child custody, alimony, or division of property, following discussions and negotiations between them.
Finally, mediation is an attempt to reach a fair agreement on both sides in order to preserve the interests of each party and their future relationship.
Quelle est la différence entre la médiation privée et la médiation subventionnée par le Gouvernement ?
At Azran Avocats, we only offer private mediation services.
Unlike so-called subsidized mediation, for which the Government of Quebec offers 5 hours of free sessions, private mediation is not free.
The price of private mediation is set at the mediator’s hourly rate according to his or her experience. This amount is generally disbursed equally between the parties, thus reducing the contribution of each. The handling of a divorce or separation by a mediator with many years of experience as a matrimonial litigation lawyer is invaluable in assessing the chances of success of this process. Indeed, the parties will benefit from the experience of a mediator armed with her experience before the courts as a family litigation lawyer, the anticipation of all the clauses and situations to be considered at the time of separation and the management of any possible situation that may arise in the future.
This service with our team will allow you to benefit from and have in hand all the tools to succeed in your mediation process by avoiding laying yourself bare in front of a costly and destructive litigation process that can quickly become a file handled before the courts in family litigation (divorce, separation, child custody and division of assets).
