Is mediation legally binding in Alberta?
In Alberta, mediation itself is not legally binding. However, the agreements reached during mediation can become legally binding once they are formalized into a written agreement and signed by both parties. If the mediation process results in a settlement, it is recommended to have the agreement reviewed and formalized by a legal professional to ensure it complies with family law requirements and is enforceable in court.
