Reconciling the Past,

Resolving the Present,

Redefining the Future.

Conflict in a family can effect every facet of your life, often tainting outlook,  job performance, health, and relationships.

Family Mediation  is a proven tool in alleviating the effects of conflict. 

Although most often used to form  working agreements in Divorce and Child Custody disputes, Family Mediation is very effective in resolving issues in Elder care, Estate settlements,  and third party interveners such as Child Protective Services and Support Enforcement.   Mediation is cost effective, confidential and timely. It is designed to meet the needs of all parties involved. Often through mediation, a case is resolved  months ahead of the scheduled court date.

Many  courts require that parties mediate prior to the court date. Through mediation parties can resolve differences in a confidential, less formal  and less adversarial environment. By resolving the issues,  families  can avoid litigation and escalation of issues during sensitive  transitional times, as well as  address non-legal issues that may be important  to family members. Most importantly, mediation provides the forum for establishing communication in relationships which minimizes the effects on children and extended family members.

 Mediation can aid in resolving the issues that surround the dissolution of a marriage and aid in an uncontested divorce, division of property and  legacy in an estate.  Mediation provides a forum for issues  and factors that are  identified as meaningful to the parties involved.

 Mediation is  an  alternative to litigation, saving  time and money.
