What Exactly is Mediation?
Mediation is a process in which both parties hire one Mediator to meet with them together and go through every issue at hand. Â The three of us work together to find fair solutions that work for both of you and your children. Â It is the Mediator's job to make sure each party is heard and cared for. Â The Mediator is a neutral third party, who facilitates the discussion and answers questions and suggests ides but YOU, the parties, make all of the decisions. Â During Mediation, with my guidance, YOU decide when and how often we meet. YOU decide the answer to every question. YOU stay out of court.
