Mediation Can Help Settle

Being a neutral party, a mediator helps find common ground and assists you in designing solutions that fit your unique situation.

A mediator will ensure both parties are heard and will not impose their opinions on the other party.

Meditation sessions are most successful, and you are much more likely to reach an agreement when:

The children’s best interests are kept in the forefront.

When everyone is respectful and committed to the process.

You keep an open mind to all options and don’t get stuck on one possible outcome.
