Family Law Mediation Services

Mediation is perhaps the most cost-effective and time-efficient means of dispute resolution. It provides a forum where you and the person or persons with whom you have a dispute are actively encouraged and guided by the Mediator in designing resolutions to the issues that suit your needs, as opposed to the blunt approach provided by the Court process. In both Family and Civil disputes, I will act as a neutral participant in a discussion or series of discussions that help create the dialogue necessary for a settlement to occur.

Some of the benefits of Mediation are:

• It allows for a much speedier resolution than what formal litigation will allow.
• It is typically much less expensive than formal litigation, in either Family Law disputes or in Civil Litigation.
• It allows the parties to end the dispute properly and directly, as opposed to through agents or lawyers, which allows the best chance for the parties to move on.
• It allows you to address some of the emotional distress arising from the dispute, which formal litigation does not permit.
• In Family Mediation, one of the goals is to create and allow for an ongoing polite relationship between you and your spouse, which is vital for parenting your children over the coming years
