What is mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process during which a neutral third party, known as a mediator, facilitates communication and negotiation between opposing sides with one goal-- to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. The mediator does not decide your case, the parties get decide their case.
The mediation process focuses on finding common ground and maintaining relationships. The mediator guides each party in focusing on their respective interests (eg. the best interest of the child or financial needs) rather than locked in positions (eg. what I like or don’t like). Mediation encourages the participants to focus on the family’s current needs rather than focusing on fault and blame for past actions.
