Family Mediation
What is Family Mediation?
A neutral third-party facilitative process among willing participants, to arrive at mutually satisfying resolutions pertaining to family and property matters.
Why Choose Mediation?
- Ensures a safe environment for communication between parties
- Focuses on the interests of children
- Gives all participants a voice to express their interests and concerns
- Reduces emotional stress
- Helps reduce the cost of resolving family and property division issues
- Engages both parties in developing a fair and reasonable agreement
- Lawyer involvement is minimized, used only to assist with any unresolved issues, provide Independent Legal Advice (ILA) and produce the final legal separation agreement
Mediation vs. Litigation
- Takes your family matters to the boardroom rather than the courtroom
- Allows creative non-standard resolutions unique to the individuals
- Process can move quicker and in a less costly fashion
- Allows a platform for understanding and development of healthier relationships moving forward
