Mediators help people work out solutions to the challenges that they’re facing together. They provide a roadmap, feedback, and clarification. They do not judge or provide legal advice, but they can be a valuable resource of legal information.
Many couples and co-parents use mediation as an amicable way to finalize a divorce or a modification of custody or child support. Parents who mediate custody issues are likely to find that they are better able to communicate in the future because they have been able to work through tough issues with a mediator’s assistance. They did it once, so they are more likely to succeed again.
All parties have to come to a mediation with a willingness to try to work out an amicable solution. It’s important that both parties feel like they can trust the mediator to be neutral and helpful. That’s why we offer free 30-minute consultations for anyone considering mediation. Please schedule a time that is convenient for both parties.
