Mediation is a way to resolve disputes outside the courtroom in a non-adversarial setting with the goal of benefitting all parties to the dispute. A lengthy court trial is not the only way to divorce or solve family disputes. Mediation can be a much more affordable option when compared to a litigated court case. The goal in the mediation process is to arrive at a settlement agreement which is agreeable to all parties in the conflict. This process allows for the parties to have the power over their outcome in lieu of having a 3rd party judge decide this outcome. The mediator conducting the process is a neutral party and can help to facilitate the process in a comfortable and neutral environment. The parties to the mediation can settle matters such as:
- Child custody and support
- Division of marital property
- Alimony
- Pre and Postnuptial Agreements
- Cohabitation Agreements
- Post divorce matters
- and all other family law disputes
The duty of the mediator is to facilitate the communication process between the parties and to help them understand the position of the other party. The mediator can also helps the parties articulate their goals and their true interest and employs creative problem solving solutions.
