Mediation

Many times, divorce and other family matters can be resolved through mediation.  A mediator can assist both parties to find a mutually agreeable approach to settlement.  Mediation can reduce the expenses of divorce, as well as place control in the hands of the parties themselves, rather than the judge.

Unlike arbitration or litigation, the mediator does not impose a solution but rather facilitates communication and negotiation to help the parties find their own resolution. 

• Voluntary and Confidential:

  Participation in mediation is typically voluntary, and the process is confidential, meaning that the discussions and information shared during mediation are not disclosed to others without consent.
• Neutral and Impartial:

  The mediator acts as a neutral third party, without taking sides or having a vested interest in the outcome of the dispute.
• Facilitative Role:

  The mediator’s role is to facilitate communication, help the parties understand each other’s perspectives, and guide them through the negotiation process.
• Focus on Agreement:

  The goal of mediation is to help the parties reach a mutually acceptable settlement that resolves the dispute, rather than having a judge or arbitrator impose a decision.
• Wide Range of Applications:

  Mediation can be used to resolve disputes in various contexts, including family matters, commercial disagreements, workplace conflicts, and more.
