What is Mediation?

Mediation is a collaborative approach to resolving disputes where a neutral third party, the mediator, assists the involved parties in reaching a mutually satisfactory settlement. It is often a preferred method in family law cases as it promotes positive communication and confidentiality, while also often being more time-efficient and cost-effective than traditional litigation.

Benefits of Choosing Mediation

• Confidentiality: Unlike court proceedings, everything said in mediation remains private.
• Control: You have more control over the outcome than in a court judgment.
• Less Stressful: Mediation is less formal and less intimidating than appearing in court.
• Cost-Effective: Typically, mediation is less expensive than going to court.
• Time-Efficient: Mediation can be scheduled as soon as the parties are ready to discuss their issues, without waiting for court dates.
