Separation and divorce bring stress and uncertainty, especially when you're trying to understand your options under BC family law. We offer family and divorce mediation and other structured paths to a legally binding Separation Agreement, so you can make informed decisions and move forward with clarity.
Not sure where to start? In a free 30‑minute consultation, we'll walk through your situation and recommend the right path. No cost, no commitment.
Rebecca explains how mediation works in this two‑minute introduction.
Most people worry: Where will I live? Can I afford to keep the house? When will I see my kids? Adversarial legal battles add stress while draining your bank account.
Over two decades and more than a thousand mediations, I've refined a structured process that works: technology and visuals that bring clarity, legal knowledge to guide each decision, and a conversation designed so you feel heard, acknowledged, and supported.
That process is the foundation of everything we do. It powers Divii, the software I built. And it's how I run every mediation myself.

The right path depends on how well you communicate, how complex your situation is, and how much guidance you want. Whichever you choose, you follow the same proven process to the same destination.
Best for couples who communicate well and want to work at their own pace.
Work through schedules, support, and property together, online, with AI‑supported drafting building your agreement as you go. If you want Rebecca in the process, Divii Mediated adds pre-mediation meetings and two hours of targeted mediation.

Best for couples who can do most of the work themselves but want help closing the gaps.
Meet with Rebecca individually first, then complete your Divii file together. A short check confirms the file is complete and identifies where you still disagree, so your two hours of mediation at $1,000 per person go straight to what matters. Rebecca drafts your full Separation Agreement when you reach agreement.

Mapping what matters in mediation: values and goals guide the conversation and lead to good decisions.
Every mediation here starts the same way: by mapping what matters. Values and goals go up on the board before the numbers do, because couples make better decisions when they can see what they are both working toward. From there, a structured process moves you through parenting, support, and property in order, capturing each agreement as it is made.
It is the method Rebecca Alleyne, family lawyer and accredited mediator, has refined with more than 1,000 BC families, and it is the same process whichever path you choose: mediation with Rebecca, Divii Mediated, or working at your own pace in Divii.
A structured, technology‑supported process refined over 1,000 files. Most matters are completed in four to six weeks, for a fraction of the cost of hiring two lawyers.
We meet with each of you individually to understand your situation.
Guided, step‑by‑step preparation with secure document sharing.
A structured joint session with real‑time calculations on screen.
A clear, legally binding Separation Agreement in plain, neutral language.
Independent legal advice, final signatures, and a clear plan.
You work through preparation and decision‑making at your own pace in the platform. With Divii Mediated, Rebecca meets each of you first, you complete the file together, and anything you can't resolve becomes the agenda for two hours of targeted mediation, with your full Separation Agreement drafted by Rebecca.

Every mediation runs on Divii, the family law software Rebecca built. Instead of abstract proposals and scribbled notes, you see schedules, support calculations, and property division on screen, in real time.
The real work of a session: schedules, support figures, and property worksheets.
Divii builds your Separation Agreement live as decisions are made.
On average, 95% of our mediations reach a full agreement. Mediate with Rebecca, choose Divii Mediated, or build your file in Divii. Your final Separation Agreement meets the requirements of BC family law, written in clear, neutral language, with independent legal advice encouraged before you sign.
Family mediation is a structured process that helps you make decisions together about parenting, support, and the division of property. Instead of relying on back-and-forth through lawyers or court, mediation creates space to sit down, have focused conversations, and work through the issues directly.
A neutral family mediator guides the discussion, keeps things on track, and helps you understand how family law applies in British Columbia, so you can make informed decisions together. Divorce mediation follows the same process and can also address the divorce itself once your Separation Agreement is in place.
At Victoria Mediation, we support this process with both mediation and, where needed, lawyer-led guidance. The goal is a clear, legally sound Separation Agreement so you can move forward with certainty.

Many separating couples find that traditional lawyer-to-lawyer negotiations can be time-consuming, costly, and emotionally draining. When communication happens back and forth between lawyers, it can be harder to stay focused on practical solutions and moving forward.
Family mediation offers a more direct and structured approach. You meet together with a neutral family law mediator, work through issues in real time, and make decisions with a clear understanding of how family law applies in British Columbia.
We support separating couples at different levels depending on what they need, from self-guided tools to full lawyer-led mediation. Most couples are able to agree on the terms of a Separation Agreement more efficiently and at a lower cost than a two-lawyer process, while still having access to legal guidance along the way.
In separation and divorce mediation, we work through both parenting and financial matters in a structured and coordinated way, so every important decision is addressed and nothing is left uncertain.
Clear, workable plans that support stability for your children and for both parents.
Fair, informed agreements grounded in the relevant financial information and BC family law.
Every agreement is drafted in clear, neutral language and reviewed before signing.
Once mediation is complete, Rebecca drafts a clear and legally binding BC Separation Agreement that reflects the decisions you made together. As a family lawyer and mediator with more than 20 years of family law experience, she explains the legal implications of your choices and ensures your agreement meets the requirements of BC family law.
Before signing, we encourage each of you to obtain independent legal advice. By that stage, the major decisions have already been made collaboratively, which often keeps the legal review efficient and focused. This approach allows you to complete the legal side of your separation without reopening conflict or unnecessary back-and-forth.
We work with families in Victoria and throughout British Columbia, providing family and divorce mediation grounded in BC family law. Many mediations take place in person at our Oak Bay office, and we also work with families across the province through online mediation when distance, schedules, or comfort make meeting remotely the better choice. The process, the preparation, and the final Separation Agreement are the same either way.
Some couples need a senior lawyer‑mediator in the room; others just need structure, tools, and a clear process. Answer a few short questions and we'll recommend the path that best fits. Your result ends with two doors: book your free consultation to confirm the fit, or go straight to your recommended path.
"I'm really glad we were able to get in with you, because you covered so much more than we would have even thought to discuss. There were a lot of little details that would have turned into huge issues if we didn't touch on them. I will highly recommend you to anyone."
K.M."Rebecca Alleyne's separation agreements are the most detailed I've ever seen. She is careful, meticulous, level-headed and compassionate. If you want to be sure that the document you end up with will actually help you and your co-parent navigate life going forward, I highly suggest calling Rebecca."
