Mediation

Facilitating peaceful resolution to disagreements and disputes.

There often comes a time during divorce or afterward where key agreements are stalemated, where the negotiation process begins to breakdown.  Whether determining a parenting plan, a change to a parent plan, support issues or division of property, you may need a neutral third party to assist you as individual parties or with your attorneys to come to agreement.

Mediation is the solution. 

Benefits of Mediation:

·        Resolve disputes peacefully

·        Create meaningful agreement for all parties

·        Learn skills to resolve future disputes

·        Develop a model to handle future disagreements

·        Restore relationships

How does mediation work?

·        Mediation provides a confidential setting with the mediator as a neutral party to facilitate agreement.

·        Both parties have equal opportunity for their issues and concerns to be heard. 

·        An agenda will be created covering issues important to both parties.

·        Communication will be clarified setting the stage for finding solutions.

·        Each issue will be addressed. 

·        Possible solutions will be discussed by brain storming options, understanding concerns and being creative until a satisfactory agreement can be crafted.

·        Both parties create the solution that fits for their specific situation. 

·        Specific binding agreements for each issue will be written, detailing who will do what, where, how, and by what date.
