Meet Rebecca Alleyne
​Family Lawyer & Mediator
I'm a family lawyer and accredited family mediator who has supported families in Victoria and across British Columbia for more than 20 years. I help couples navigate separation and divorce in a calm, structured, and practical way. My goal is to guide you through the conversations you need to have about parenting, child support, spousal support, and division of property so you can create Separation Agreement that provides a clear plan for your family’s future.​
As a family mediator, I focus on helping you communicate openly, understand each other’s concerns, and work through areas of conflict. I keep the mediation process organized and forward looking so you can stay focused on solutions rather than getting stuck in old patterns.
Because I am also a family lawyer, with years of experience in and out of court, I can give you legal information throughout the mediation. I explain the issues that matter, outline how family law applies to your situation in British Columbia, and help you understand the practical implications of the choices you are considering.​
When your mediation is complete, I prepare your final legal Separation Agreement in clear, neutral language. This ensures you leave with a professionally drafted document that reflects your intentions and meets the legal requirements under the BC Family Law Act.
My approach combines supportive family mediation with accurate legal guidance so you can move through your separation with clarity, confidence, and a well structured Separation Agreement that stands the test of time.
Our Step-by-Step Family Mediation Process
Our family mediation process gives you a clear, structured path through to your Separation Agreement so you always know what to expect. We use a five step approach that helps you prepare, understand your legal and financial landscape under BC family law, communicate effectively, and reach balanced agreements about parenting, child support, spousal support, and the division of assets and debts. Each step is designed to reduce conflict, keep conversations productive, and guide you toward a Separation Agreement that reflects your intentions and meets BC’s legal requirements.
​
This process has helped families across Victoria, BC and throughout the province move through their separation and divorce with clarity and confidence. It keeps you organized, supports respectful communication, and ensures you have the information you need at each stage.

Why Mediation Works
Family mediation is the best first step because we do the real work together, in the same room, at the same time. As a family lawyer, I can explain how BC family law applies to your situation and guide you through each decision. As we talk through the issues, we look at the same information, ask the same questions, and build a shared understanding of what makes sense for your family.
​
Once we have shaped the plan together, I draft a legal Separation Agreement in clear language. You can then take the Separation Agreement to your own divorce lawyer for independent legal advice. By that point, most of the heavy lifting is already done and the cost has been shared. In my experience, when couples work through the information together and understand the law at the same time, there is usually very little left to fight about.

This allows you to choose a family mediator who feels like the right fit while still receiving the same structured, supportive process.
