Why Mediation?

Facilitative mediation will help:
• Organize the parties to the tasks required.

• Act as a resource for ideas and information.
• Assist both parties in understanding the issues.
• Assist in negotiating a fair settlement.
• Promote post-divorce cooperation.

What about the kids?

While creating a parenting plan, we discuss:

• Goals for parenting together.
• How communication about issues will occur.
• Decisions about handling future problems.
• A schedule for parenting time.

What is the final product?

Experience has proven that settlements reached through mediated negotiations are more likely to be honored by both parties than those reached through an adversarial legal process. The mutually agreed upon decisions are combined into a document that is signed by both parities and presented to the Judge.
