Mediation
A safe space for having the difficult conversations you need to have to resolve your family law issues.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a dispute resolution alternative, involving two parties that are both interested in solving their family issues out-of-court. It is a voluntary process where a mutually selected third-party neutral (the mediator) guides you through the process from start to finish to arrive at a mutually agreeable agreement.
You make the decisions, and the mediator facilitates the conversation.
Why Choose Mediation?
Mediation can be an efficient and cost-effective option for many families because it provides parties the ability to come to their own decisions about their future, rather than having a court decide. Mediation offers a better solution than court as it is faster, less expensive and designed to reduce conflict.
What Happens Next?
Once both parties confirm their willingness to proceed, we will provide you with more information about our fee packages.
Next, you will attend a separate, private, confidential intake appointment with your mediator. This is where you will learn more about the process, discuss what is important to you and confirm mediation is right for you. After intake, if both you and the mediator agree that mediation is appropriate for your situation, you will then proceed with your joint session.
You may choose to mediate in-person at our office or securely online via ZOOM. Some joint sessions take place with all parties in the same physical or online room and others take place in separate rooms. Your mediator will advise on what will be best for your situation.
If you think mediation could be a good fit for you, please contact our office and speak to our Intake Manager.
Please note that both parties must agree to participate in mediation. If you are not sure that the other party will agree, we can send a letter to explain the mediation process and ask if they agree.
We offer flat fee packages for mediation services or you can pay as you go.
