Guide people to develop mutually beneficial agreements to which they will be committed. Create options for resolution that neither person may have thought of on their own. Although non-binding, agreements reached through mediation can be made legally binding if the parties desire. A mediator does not provide legal advice and recommends that legally binding agreements be reviewed by independent legal counsel. Mediation is useful in a wide variety of disputes where the primary objective of the persons involved is to arrive at an agreement that meets the real needs of both parties.
Mediation works in a variety of situations.
Mediation offers a chance for emotional healing. A mediator guides couples through the decision-making process relative to division of property, financial maintenance, custody, visitation and child support. When conflicts arise, mediators are well trained to help the separating couple arrive at fair and workable solutions. At the conclusion of mediation your custom tailored agreement is ready for lawyers to review. Step family restructuring.
