Mediation: A Less Contentious Option

Helping Resolve Your Family Disputes without Going to Battle in Court
Mediation enables couples to craft a divorce agreement that both parties can live with. All of the typical aspects of a divorce case that need to be decided in court can also be reached through mediation, including decisions concerning property division, child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal support. Mediation is also useful for nontraditional families, such as unmarried couples, who are going through a breakup and need help reaching an agreement.
