• Family Mediation is a structured, interactive resolution process whereby a neutral party, the mediator, helps two family members navigate negotiations of family conflict and find an agreeable solution.

• The Mediator will encourage communication between family members, promote understanding, and attempt to identify possible areas of compromise by bringing attention to common areas of interest.

• Ultimately, the mediator will help the family find a mutually beneficial solution to their dispute and conclude by assisting them in documenting these terms in a written agreement

  Benefits Of Mediation For Family Disputes

1. Decision-Making Power – Instead of relinquishing your decision-making power, you and the other party maintain complete control over decisions you make about your family.

2. Less Expensive – Mediation is typically far less than litigation.

3. Less Stress – Mediation relies on cooperation and focuses on reconciliation. This doesn’t mean that it aims to get you and your ex back together, rather it attempts to repair some of the damage to your relationship so that positive future interactions are possible. The adversarial nature of litigation makes this impossible.

4. Faster and Focused– Mediation takes an average of anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the complexity of the divorce, which is far quicker, and more results-driven than navigating the numerous, complex, and stressful steps of litigation.
