Mediation

In mediation, you and your partner work with a neutral mediator to help you reach agreements on key issues and to formalize those agreements in a legal contract.

The mediator’s role is to help you understand the issues, to summarize the law without favoring one side or the other, and to guide you in brainstorming solutions that work for your family. Above all, the mediator supports you and your partner to have productive conversations and make decisions together.

Throughout the decision-making process, you and your partner are empowered to make creative decisions that work for you and your family. With mediation, you retain full control of the outcome.
