Mediation cuts through conflict to achieve a resolution that works for both parties.

A mediator can help both parties in conflict to clearly identify the issues in dispute, gather information necessary to have a reasoned and informed discussion, and to explore settlement options. Mediation can often result in a quicker and more cost-effective resolution to family law disputes.

Some Important Points to Remember

  • A mediator is not the decision maker.

    In mediation, the parties arrive at a settlement together rather than having someone else decide for them.

  • A mediator can provide legal information to both parties but cannot give either party advice.

    You will have the option, both throughout the mediation and once you arrive at a settlement, to consult with counsel.

  • In mediation, a decision is never imposed on either party as it would be in court.

    The mediation settlement is, therefore, more likely to be accepted and followed by both parties.

  • Mediation is not just for low-conflict cases.

    As long as there are no safety concerns, high-conflict cases are suitable for mediation as well.
