Mediation is a process in which your mediator acts as a neutral third party. The mediator will help you reach a settlement in your legal issues. The role of the mediator is to guide your discussion, explore settlement alternatives, and resolve difficult conflicts.
Together, both parties meet with the mediator, either in person or virtually, and exchange necessary information and ideas about various ways to settle their differences. This process allows both parties to make the decisions together, rather than attorneys arguing your case in court before a judge.
Mediation is typically less expensive than traditional litigation and reduces the fears associated with divorce or other family law issues.
