<strong>What is a mediation?</strong>

Mediation is a process in which a disinterested third party, the mediator, attempts to bring about an agreement on contested issues between you and your spouse. Many people, when faced with a forthcoming divorce, think essentially of going to trial. Mediation can be an alternative to create your own outcome and alleviate the stress of appearing before a judge.

<strong>Is mediation suitable for my case?</strong>

Despite the many benefits that mediation can provide, the disputants should be able to communicate and express their ideas, wants and needs, in a respectful and courteous manner.

<strong>What is the role of the mediator?</strong>

As mediator, we do not render a judgment. We assist and guide both parties in reaching a uniquely tailored agreement that is to your mutual satisfaction. We will meet individually with each party to hear what each side truly want out of the process.
