Resolve parenting disputes with a focus on your child’s best interests.
Family mediation helps parents work through custody, visitation, and parenting challenges in a respectful, neutral setting. It encourages collaboration and reduces stress on the children, offering practical solutions tailored to each family’s needs.
Structured sessions guided by court requirements.
When mandated by a judge, court-ordered mediation offers a structured process for parents to resolve issues outside the courtroom. It aims to reduce conflict and support timely, child-centered agreements that comply with legal standards.
Build a clear, cooperative roadmap for raising your children apart.
A parenting plan outlines how parents will share time and responsibilities. It covers visitation schedules, holidays, decision-making, communication, and more—providing structure and stability for everyone involved.
Ongoing support to reduce conflict and keep co-parenting on track.
When disagreements persist after a parenting plan is in place, a parent coordinator helps interpret and implement the plan. As a neutral third party, the coordinator fosters better communication and accountability between parents.
Professional evaluations to guide informed parenting decisions.
This clinical process assesses each parent’s strengths, challenges, and relationship with the child. The results help courts or parents determine the most supportive, developmentally appropriate co-parenting arrangements.
Safe, monitored visits to protect and support the parent-child bond.
Supervised access ensures children can visit with a non-custodial parent in a secure environment. Visits may occur at neutral locations with trained observers and, if needed, detailed reports are available for court or personal use.
Why Mediation Works
Research shows that children fare better emotionally when their parents mediate rather than litigate. Mediation reduces conflict, improves communication, and fosters healthier co-parenting.
Cost Sharing Note
Costs are typically shared equally, unless agreed otherwise.
