Family Mediation BC — Sea to Sky Law. Andrew Liggett is a certified Family Law Mediator and Arbitrator through the Law Society of British Columbia and holds the LSBC ADR Professional designation. Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process in which a neutral third party helps separating spouses reach their own agreement on parenting, support, and property matters. Mediation is generally faster and less costly than court proceedings and produces agreements that both parties have shaped and are more likely to follow. Arbitration is a private adjudication process where the arbitrator hears evidence and issues a binding decision called an award. Med-arb combines both processes: mediation first, then arbitration if no agreement is reached. Collaborative divorce is a four-way process in which both spouses retain lawyers who commit in writing not to go to court, focusing instead on interest-based negotiation. Parenting coordination is a dispute resolution process for separated parents who have ongoing parenting conflicts, where the coordinator has authority to make binding decisions on day-to-day parenting issues. All services are available to BC families throughout the province by phone and secure video conference. Sea to Sky Law conducts mediation, arbitration, med-arb, collaborative divorce, and parenting coordination across all of British Columbia by phone and secure video.
