Mediation

Mediation is a dispute/conflict resolution process used by parties to a lawsuit. Mediation is a great tool to use when disagreements arise and can be beneficial for both small and larger issues. The mediation process involves the parties to the lawsuit and a mediator who is a third party neutral. (If the parties are represented by an attorney, they will also be present at the mediation). The mediator’s role is to assist the parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. This is done by facilitating communications and negotiations between the parties in a neutral and safe space.

Mediation is often preferred over litigation because it is less adversarial, more flexible, and can lead to faster and more cost-effective resolutions. It empowers the parties to actively participate in finding solutions to their disputes, and the outcome is often more satisfactory to all involved. Additionally, mediation can help preserve relationships and minimize the emotional toll of continued litigation.

Overall, mediation offers a collaborative, cost-effective, and efficient alternative to traditional methods of dispute resolution, making it a preferred choice for many individuals, businesses, and organizations seeking to resolve conflicts effectively.

Overall, mediation is important in family law cases because it offers a constructive, collaborative, and holistic approach to resolving disputes that prioritizes the well-being of all family members and promotes positive outcomes for families facing difficult transitions or conflicts.

– Your voice is heard
– Solutions are tailored to your unique family/situation
– Cooperative approach
– Cost effective
– Avoid further litigation
– Confidential process
– Binding/non-revocable once the Mediated Settlement Agreement is signed
