Mediation

Resolving family law disputes through mediation—a faster, less adversarial alternative to litigation.

Mediation offers couples a way to resolve divorce and family law issues outside of court, with the help of a neutral third party. Many families find mediation faster, less expensive, and less stressful than traditional litigation.

How Mediation Works

- A trained mediator facilitates discussions between parties - Both parties work together to reach agreements - Attorneys can be present to advise their clients - The mediator doesn't make decisions—the parties do - Agreements reached are put in writing and can become court orders
