Family Mediation

Family mediation helps families in dispute resolve their issues without the added strain of a courtroom. A neutral mediator guides the conversation so that both sides are heard and can work toward a resolution together, rather than having an outcome imposed on them.

Family mediation can be used to resolve a wide range of issues, including divorce, child custody, parenting time, and property division.

Benefits of Family Mediation

• More control. You and the other party work together to find a solution, rather than leaving the decision to a judge.
• Confidentiality. What's discussed in mediation stays private and isn't part of a public court record.
• Lower cost. Family mediation is typically far less expensive than litigation.
• Faster resolution. Sessions can often be scheduled and completed much more quickly than a court date.
• Better relationships going forward. This matters most when families need to continue interacting, especially when co-parenting is involved.

If you're facing a family dispute, mediation is worth considering as a first step, particularly when an ongoing relationship with the other party (as a co-parent, sibling, or family member) needs to be preserved.

How It Works

The process is simple: contact us, schedule a session, and mediate. Before your session, both parties review and sign an Agreement to Mediate that outlines confidentiality and the ground rules for the process. There's no separate consultation step to schedule first, you can go straight from reaching out to getting a session on the calendar.
