Our approach to mediation
Our approach to mediation is to allow people to air their grievances in a safe space with a qualified, third-party neutral in hopes that the party will facilitate discussion toward settlement.
Mediation might be appropriate for those who truly want to put their child/children first or who feel constrained by the court process.
Parenting Coordination
“Parenting coordination is a hybrid legal-mental health role that combines assessment, education, case management, conflict management, dispute resolution, and, at times, decision-making functions.
Parenting coordination is a child-focused process conducted by a licensed mental health or family law professional, or a certified, qualified or regulated family mediator under the rules or laws of their jurisdiction, with practical professional experience with high conflict family cases.
Parenting coordination is for cooperants who are unable or unwilling to jointly make parenting decisions, communicate effectively, comply with parenting agreements and orders or shield their children from the impact of parental conflict” (Association of Family and Conciliation Courts Guidelines for Parenting Coordination).
