Who Can Benefit from Family Mediation?
Anyone can benefit from mediation. It allows the parties to decide the outcome of their case, since they are decision makers in mediation. It also allows the parties to stay in control of their lives, rather than having someone else make decisions for them (such as a judge).
Is Mediation a Mandatory Process?
The mediation process is a voluntary process.
What to Expect During Your Mediation Session?
You can expect to be in private, separate conference rooms or offices that incorporate calming elements to help create a collaborative environment utilizing technology when appropriate. Mediation sessions are a minimum of 2 hours long but can be scheduled in advance for as long as the parties’ expect they will need to come a resolution.
Understanding the Mediator's Role
A mediator is a neutral party and does not represent either you or the other party in your case. The mediator cannot give either party legal advise.
What Does a Mediator Do?
The role of a mediator is to be neutral, help identify issues to be resolved, explore options for resolving those issues, reduce obstacles of communication between the parties and assist them in reaching a mutual agreement.
