Court-Ordered Mediation

Court-ordered mediation helps families resolve the financial and parenting issues that arise during separation or divorce. Our mediators understand both the legal framework families are navigating and the very human challenges that come with restructuring a family.

Mediation can help families create the agreements and parenting plans needed to move forward while reducing unnecessary conflict and litigation.

What Mediation Can Address

A woman in a suit explains documents to a seated couple in a living room, guiding them through the process of family mediation. Papers are spread out on a white table as they listen attentively.

Mediation can support families in working through:

Our trauma-informed mediators take a strictly non-judgmental approach. Rather than deciding who is right or taking sides, we help each person clarify what matters most, understand their options, and participate effectively in creating workable solutions.

Mediation can also help parents establish better ways of handling future disagreements, reducing conflict and the need for further court involvement.

For Attorneys, Guardians ad Litem & Court Professionals

Mediation may be initiated voluntarily, by agreement of the parties, or through a court order or referral from a Guardian ad Litem, Magistrate, or Judge.
