Court is mentally and physically exhausting and our clients have reported that the stress of litigation has a serious and lasting impact on their mental and physical wellbeing. Attending court also means putting the decision about your family in the hands of a judge who does not know your family and both parties are then forced to live with whatever the outcome is.
Mediation puts the power back in the hands of the parties. Courts are bound by the law, but in mediation parties can get creative and come up with a solution that suits their families and their needs. As your mediator we will help guide that discussion and facilitate those conversations to allow parties to be able to not only come to initial agreements, but also to develop skills that will allow them to keep working together to resolve the issues they are facing.
