What is Mediation?
The mediation process involves a neutral mediator, who assists the parties in reaching a resolution of their divorce, child custody, support or other legal matters outside of court. The mediator is impartial and therefore does not represent either party; however, the parties may bring their respective attorneys to the mediation sessions or attend the sessions without attorneys. The goal is to create a mutually acceptable settlement of the parties’ family matter to avoid the cost and apprehension of going to court.
