Mediation Services
What is Family Mediation?
​
Mediation is a confidential, out-of-court process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps separating or divorcing partners reach fair agreements on important family matters — without the stress and cost of litigation.
​
If you're facing issues around parenting plans, child or spousal support, division of property, or communication breakdowns, mediation can help you find solutions together.
Why Choose Mediation?​
Reduce Conflict: Avoid adversarial court battles and preserve family relationships.
​
Cost-Effective: Typically less expensive than going to court.
​
Faster Resolutions: Schedule sessions on your timeline — not the court’s.
​
Flexible & Customized: Agreements are tailored to your family’s unique needs.
​
Confidential: Keep your family’s matters private.
​
Empowering: You stay in control of the outcomes — not a judge.
Step 1: Free Initial Consultation
We'll meet with you (and the other party if both agree) to understand your situation and explain how mediation works.
Step 2: Intake & Agreement to Mediate
Each party completes an intake form. We establish ground rules and ensure mediation is the right fit.
Step 3: Mediation Sessions
Sessions take place online or in-person. The mediator facilitates discussion to help both parties reach consensus.
Step 4: Drafting the Agreement
Once resolution is reached, we provide a written summary or draft agreement for review with independent legal advice.
Step 5: Next Steps
You can formalize the agreement through court (if needed) or simply move forward with confidence.
