Neutral Third Party

Family Law Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party, known as a mediator, helps facilitate communication and negotiation between two or more parties involved in a dispute or conflict.

Avoids Litigation

Family Law Mediation can be a valuable alternative to court, as it is often less expensive and time-consuming.

Mutually Acceptable Outcome

The family law mediator does not make decisions or impose solutions but instead assists the parties in reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. The mediator remains impartial and does not take sides.

Achieve Workable Outcomes

The goals of family law mediation are to:

• Promote understanding
• Identify common interests
• Explore possible solutions that address the needs and concerns of all parties involved

Resolve a Myriad of Disputes

Guided by a skilled mediation lawyer, family law mediation helps families resolve common disputes such as:

• Child support
• Property division
• Spousal support
• Parenting arrangements (parenting time and responsibilities)

A mediation lawyer guides families through these sensitive matters, ensuring a fair and balanced outcome for everyone involved.

Confidential Process

It is a voluntary and confidential process that encourages open dialogue and empowers the parties to actively participate in finding a resolution that meets their interests and maintains relationships.

Final Agreement

If an agreement, whether a separation agreement or parenting plan agreement, is reached through mediation, it can then be reviewed and finalized by a family law lawyer before being submitted to the court for approval.
