Mediation

This is a process of negotiation where parties in conflict meet with a neutral third party to help change the quality of their conflict interaction into a more positive and constructive experience. The mediator facilitates discussion and explores various topics and alternative possibilities for resolution. By remaining impartial, a mediator will strive to create an atmosphere where problems can be identified, options or alternatives considered, and negotiation and compromise achieved.

Mediation is a process designed to assist both parties in reaching agreement on such issues as...

  • Parental responsibility
  • Primary residence
  • Visitation
  • Child support
  • Alimony
  • Division of assets and liabilities
  • Foreclosure
  • Real Estate Negotiation

The role of the mediator is to help both parties come to a successful agreement about issues that will affect their future and to avoid the necessity of litigating their disputes in Court. Through mediation, both parties will determine what they believe is a fair and equitable solution that best suits their particular situation. The mediator will not impose an agreement upon the parties. Both parties agree to keep all negotiations and communications in mediation confidential. The mediator will work to help both parties negotiate a settlement and, if successful, prepare a written summary that reflects this agreement.
