Bring a measure of peace back into your life
What is Mediation
Family Court Mediation is a confidential process in which the parties meet with a Certified Family Court Mediator in attempt to resolve issues arising in your divorce case rather than have the issues decided by a judge. This meeting can be virtual! Through the mediation process, you get to make the decisions about your family court case and your future. Neither party waives any rights by participating in the process. The process can begin any time after you decide that your marriage cannot continue, even before anyone moves out.
You, the parties, along with your attorneys if you have them, come to one or more mediation sessions in person or online, in attempt to resolve your issues with the help of a trained mediator. Your case can be ended as soon as you are ready, rather than have your life put on hold for months or even years while your case is litigated. You, who know your case better than anyone, get to decide your future. A Family Court judge, who cannot possibly know your life as well as you do, shouldn't decide your future, much less your children's futures.
The process is completely confidential. If you are unable to settle, neither party can later subpoena the mediator into court to testify about what happened during mediation. This leaves you free to come up with creative solutions in attempt to resolve your issues.
