The old way of dealing with disputes, called litigation, meant fighting in court, where a judge makes the orders, which the parties must follow, whether they like it or not. Family Law litigation is emotionally and financially draining and there’s no guarantee of satisfaction.
Fortunately, mediation offers a better option, allowing the parties to meet with a trained mediator to resolve disputes and together create the legal order that will work for them, specifically tailored to their situation. Mediation is effective because it gives people a space to communicate what they need and with the help of the mediator, it provides the tools to determine what their futures will be. Mediation is usually much less expensive and emotionally taxing than fighting in court.
