Family Mediation

A cooperative, peaceful, and solution-focused path to resolving your family law matters.

Overview

What Is Mediation?

It is an informal negotiation process regularly used to settling your family law matters as an alternative to the expense and uncertainty of the judicial process.

In mediation, you meet with a neutral party (the mediator) who helps both sides communicate and agree on how to resolve their disputes in a way that works best for everyone involved.

Parties can use mediation as a tool either with or without attorneys involved.
