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
Benefits of Mediation
- **Cost-effective**: Usually less expensive than litigation - **Faster resolution**: Avoid lengthy court schedules - **Private**: Discussions stay confidential - **Control**: You make the decisions, not a judge - **Better relationships**: Less adversarial, better for co-parenting - **Flexible**: Creative solutions that courts might not order
What Can Be Mediated
- Property division - Spousal support - Child custody and visitation - Child support - Any family law dispute
