What is Family Mediation?
Family mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps people work through family-related disputes such as divorce, ongoing co-parenting concerns, or issues related to family elder care.
Instead of having decisions imposed by a judge, mediation allows families to:
Maintain control over outcomes
Reduce time and expense
Focus on practical, forward-looking solutions
Mediation is not therapy and not legal advice—it is a structured conversation aimed at resolution.
Preparation and Why It Matters
Mediation is most successful when people arrive prepared - not just with paperwork, but with realistic expectations and a clear understanding of what matters most.
Preparation helps:
- Reduce emotional escalation
- Keep discussions focused
- Improve communication
- Increase the likelihood of reaching agreement
This site walks you through what to expect, how to prepare, and how to participate productively.
