PRIVATE MEDIATION SERVICES

What do family mediators do?

- We help couples reach agreements concerning their separation, divorce, parenting schedules, child support, alimony, property division and other family matters.    

-Mediation is a voluntary process offering couples the opportunity to have a constructive conversation, in which they are able to express their respective concerns, to better understand one another’s perspectives, and, if possible, to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of their issues.

- In our role as a private attorney mediator, we do not represent either party and nothing in mediation shall be construed as legal advice.  The mediator is a facilitator, and you are encouraged to consult with an independent attorney of your choosing for legal advice.

- Each of you may retain independent counsel before, during or after mediation concludes to advise you regarding your legal rights, as you each have adverse legal interests that are substantial.

- Mediation requires mutual trust and open disclosure between the parties to be successful.  

-  All issues are to be negotiated in good faith. Therefore, it is important that both clients share all pertinent information freely
