Nurturing families, strengthening parental roles
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party helps families resolve disputes—especially around parenting—peacefully and constructively.
Pillars of Mediation
Confidentiality
Voluntariness
Neutrality
Self-Determination
Family Mediation
Focus on custody, access, parenting plans.
Court-Ordered Mediation
Structured mediation per court mandates.
Parenting Plan
Time-sharing, communication, logistics.
Parent Coordination
Neutral support for plan follow-through.
Parenting Plan Assessment/Evaluation
Clinical evaluations for effective co-parenting.
Supervised Access
Safe, structured visits with optional reports.
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.
