MEDIATION

Mediation is a process whereby an independent, neutral person (the mediator) helps you and your partner find mutually acceptable solutions to divorce and family law disputes. A mediator does not operate as a judge and does not impose solutions on the parties — you decide on your own solutions. The mediator will discuss the issues with the parties and help them bring about a solution. The mediation process is faster, easier and generally less expensive than courtroom litigation

BENEFITS OF MEDIATION

  • You have control over the process
  • Better lives for the clients
  • Reduced conflict – better adjustment for children
  • Faster and less time consuming
  • Saves money
  • More effective communication and parenting
  • Privacy
  • Improved economic and social functioning
  • Client generated solutions.
