Getting Divorced?
Co-Parenting not going well?
Consistently reaching a stalemate when addressing issues with your spouse or teenager?
Mediation may be for You.
For instance....
Many people share children with people they are no longer with (if they were ever officially with them) and some of those co-parenting relationships run smoothly. Unfortunately, others would greatly benefit from an educated, professional, neutral 3rd party assisting them in putting their issues into perspective and developing an agreement everyone is satisfied with. In most cases, sitting down together and negotiating an agreement saves massive amounts of time, money and energy.
When parents involve the courts in their co-parenting plans, they open up their personal business to the world by becoming a court record. A significant amount of time and money is spent going back and forth to court and your personal business has now become a matter of public record.
Every. Messy. Detail.
Now, if those same parents go to Mediation to develop or modify a parenting plan they will save a massive amount of time and money, while keeping their personal matters private and out of court records.
Mediation is much more flexible than litigating because you and the other party are simply collaborating schedules with each other and the mediator opposed to being expected to drop everything you had planned on a random day and show up in court AND pay to park. Further, You have missed out on money because you had to go to court when you were scheduled to be there which is based on the judge's docket, not your schedule.
