Anchor Both Parties to What Canadian Courts Actually Award
Splitifi gives Canadian family mediators access to outcome data from comparable cases across Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Quebec — narrowing SSAG ranges, resolving parenting impasses, and delivering the reality check that moves parties to settlement.
Where Canadian Family Mediation Breaks Down
The friction points that extend timelines and drain client resources — and how data changes them
SSAG Ranges Are Too Wide to Anchor Parties
The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines give ranges — not numbers. A case with $120,000 payor income and 14-year marriage might produce a range from $1,800 to $3,400 per month. Without outcome data from comparable Canadian cases showing where parties actually land within that range, mediators cannot anchor both sides to a realistic number. Sessions stall on a $1,600/month gap that comparable Ontario or BC cases would resolve in minutes.
Parenting Plan Impasse — Arbitrary Positions
Parents arrive at the table with rigid custody positions — often 50/50 or primary — without knowing whether the courts in their province routinely grant what they're demanding. A parent insisting on equal time for a 3-year-old in Ontario may not know that the Superior Court of Justice rarely awards equal time for children under 5 without a track record of shared care. Outcome data from comparable cases reframes the conversation entirely.
No Visibility Into Local Judicial Outcomes
A mediator in Ottawa conducting a pre-trial mediation in an Ontario Superior Court file needs to know how Justice Smith and the family court bench in that region have ruled on comparable fact patterns. Without that intelligence, the mediator is operating blind — unable to tell parties what a realistic trial outcome looks like, which is the single most effective tool for settlement.
High-Conflict Cases Drag Without a Reality Check
High-conflict parties often prolong mediation because each side believes their litigation outcome will be better than reality. Without neutral, verified outcome data showing what courts actually award in similar cases — by jurisdiction, by judge, by fact pattern — mediators have no anchor to interrupt the cycle. Cases that should settle in three sessions stretch to eight, burning client funds and mediator goodwill.
How Splitifi Equips Canadian Mediators
Intelligence tools built for the Canadian family law mediation workflow
Canadian Outcome Data for SSAG Calculations
Access millions of family law outcomes from Canadian courts and comparable datasets to narrow SSAG ranges into actionable numbers. Filter by province, court level, marriage duration, income, and children to surface the most comparable cases — showing both parties where they will actually land, not where they hope to.
Judge Intelligence for Provincial Courts
Understand how judges across Ontario Superior Court, BC Supreme Court, Alberta Court of King's Bench, and Quebec Superior Court have ruled on spousal support, parenting time, and property division. Know the judicial temperament, common award patterns, and historical outcomes before walking into pre-trial mediation — so parties understand what they're choosing mediation over.
Parenting Plan Outcome Data by Province
Surface comparable parenting arrangement outcomes filtered by child age, province, and court. Show parents what arrangements courts actually award for children of similar ages in their jurisdiction — breaking through arbitrary positions and refocusing the conversation on what the evidence supports rather than what each party wants.
Impasse Prediction and Resolution Tools
Splitifi's impasse detection engine identifies when a case is heading toward breakdown and surfaces the specific data points most likely to restart movement. Whether the sticking point is SSAG quantum, pension division, or parenting schedule, the system provides targeted outcome data to reopen the conversation — reducing session count and protecting mediated resolution rates.
The Intelligence Behind the Platform
Millions of family law outcomes analyzed — including Canadian family law cases across all 13 provinces and territories
Splitifi maintains intelligence on verified judges — including Canadian family court judges across all major provincial benches. Our outcome prediction models are purpose-built for family law outcomes.
For Canadian mediators, this means outcome data that reflects the specific frameworks of the federal Divorce Act, SSAG, Federal Child Support Guidelines, and provincial property regimes — not generic data from US jurisdictions applied to Canadian facts.
Note on data scope: Our full dataset includes millions of family law outcomes across Canada and the US. Canadian-specific filters surface only the outcome data relevant to Canadian courts and Canadian legal frameworks.
Canadian Mediators on Splitifi
"I had a spousal support impasse — the range under SSAG was $1,600 to $3,200. Using outcome data from comparable Ontario Superior Court cases with similar income and duration, I moved the conversation from a $1,600 gap to a $400 gap in one session. We settled at $2,300. That's the power of real data in the room."
"I was working a parenting impasse where both parents wanted primary with the other having every other weekend. I pulled BC Supreme Court data on primary parent arrangements for school-age children — comparable income, comparable geography. The data made it clear what courts actually award. We had a parenting plan by the end of the session."
