Mediation is an alternative method of resolving a dispute without going to trial. It is an informal process where no one is questioned by a lawyer. And unlike a judge, a mediator cannot impose a solution on the parties.

The parties control the outcome of the dispute, not a judge. The mediator meets with each person and allows each person a chance to be heard. The mediator then helps the parties design a solution that both parties agree on.

Mediation is especially valuable if children are involved. Parents will always have communication about their children and interaction around their children. As children become adults, situations such as weddings and the birth of grandchildren will occur. Mediation allows you to resolve your dispute while maintaining a working relationship with the other parent.
