About Mediation
Through mediation, clients are empowered to reach an agreement that satisfies their unique needs
Process & purpose
The process looks something like this:
Mediator has an intake call with each client
Mediator works with clients to outline their goals
Mediator facilitates conversations between the clients
Clients reach resolution together
Mediator drafts an agreement; clients are able to sign if they feel comfortable with it
Role of the mediator
A mediator is a neutral third party that helps facilitate conversations between two disputing people. A mediator does not settle disputes by deciding who is right or wrong. The people involved decide what solutions they’re comfortable with and how they’ll come to an agreement.
In the case of a divorce, a mediator can help facilitate difficult conversations about splitting assets, coparenting, and spousal and child support, incorporating the divorcing couple’s unique circumstances into the agreement. In the case of non-married parents, mediators can help parents develop a parenting plan and discuss support payments. A mediator can help resolve other types of personal disputes as well.
There are no easy or clear answers when a family decides to split or as children age and coparenting needs change. A mediator can help couples, former couples, and other coparents have successful conversations in a cost-effective way, on a timeline that suits the people involved, and with custom solutions.
