Domestic Mediation
Domestic Mediation is a positive alternative to having the courts make decisions for you regarding children, finances, and other decisions during the divorce process. Mediation is voluntary and requires that both parties meet with a neutral mediator to work cooperatively toward a mutually agreed settlement. In facilitative mediation, the most common type of alternative dispute resolution, the mediator does not act as a judge and does not render a decision or make any recommendation. Instead, the mediator’s job is to maintain complete neutrality while encouraging the parties to move toward a settlement rather than going to court.
Dealing with decisions surrounding a divorce can be complicated, overwhelming and stressful. Where litigation often tears families apart, mediation works to maintain and improve relationships through communication. Often times in the battle of divorce the child(ren) are overlooked. However, mediation brings focus to the best interest of the child and works with parents to comprise a mutually beneficial and workable agreement.
Highly trained and experienced divorce mediators will help you to discuss your concerns, explore various options and find acceptable solutions to issues involving:
-
Parenting agreements
-
Financial support

Health and life insurance
-
Family home and real estate
