When wedding bells ring, the last thing a couple expects is the toll of the divorce knell. Yet for one in every three marriages in Canada, that day will come. It’s a sobering statistic, considering the documented impact of divorce on the emotional and financial well-being of the people involved and their children. In 2012, a group of lawyers and family and financial professionals in Peterborough, Lindsay, and Cobourg decided they could do something about the emotional and financial devastation that often comes with the traditional divorce story. Lawyer Chantel Lawton is one of them. “Divorce law grew out of civil law which is traditionally adversarial,” Lawton says. “There’s a winner and a loser. It ignores the impact on the family as a whole.” We're helping people have difficult conversations that may otherwise never occur. Our goal is that everyone at the table feels heard and has their needs met. Lawton belongs to Kawartha Collaborative Practice, an association of like-minded professionals who are turning the traditional divorce story on its head — and breaking the cycle of conflict in the process.Read more1+ min readloading.....I agree to the terms of posting

What is Family Mediation?
- A way to resolve issues arising from your separation or divorce.
- A voluntary process that can be designed to meet your families needs.
- Private and confidential.
- Both spouses work with one mediator who guides the discussion and helps you reach a resolution. Mediation can include lawyers for both spouses or can be with just the spouses.
- More cost effective and efficient then some other options. Can be a faster path to resolution then some of the other options.
- Designed specifically for your family to ensure that it is a safe and respectful discussion.
- Focuses on what is important to both spouses and working to fulfill those needs, where possible.
- Results in a Memorandum of Understanding or a Separation Agreement which you then seek independent legal advice about prior to signing.

Chantel Lawton is a Barrister, Solicitor and Notary based in Lindsay, ON.
PublicHelping separating families through the difficult transition to independent lives with dignity is my passion. During the journey of separation and divorce, I provide you with the support you need to help your family focus on, and achieve whatever goals your family have laid out. Most importantly, I make sure your family is going to be okay. I support you and your family each step of the way. In the collaborative process I help guide you through to a respectful and peaceful process towards a resolution. The process is focused and tailored for your unique family.
My goal for the collaborative process is for your family to be able to move forward, to be okay, and to to have the closure needed to be at peace.
I graduated from the University of Western Ontario with an Honours Bachelor of Music (Education) in 1997. I obtained my Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the University of Windsor in 2001 and was called to the bar in 2002. My practice has focused primarily on Family Law. I have been working as a collaborative lawyer since being specially trained in 2012.
