Mediation – Invoke Your Right to be Heard
When most people think about divorce, separation, custody disputes, or child support issues, they fear disagreement and hostile relationships. Many believe the only way these types of family law issues can be resolved is when a judge imposes an unfriendly order. Family law issues are often, however, resolved in a way that leaves both parties agreeable to the outcome. Most importantly, both parties can feel their concerns have been heard and their wishes considered by the court.
Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which the parties sit down with a neutral individual – the mediator – who assists them in reaching an agreement they can all live with. Mediators are skilled at helping the parties communicate with one another and help them to find common ground. The mediator can suggests options, but will not impose an agreement.The people who are impacted by the final outcome must agree to the mediator's suggestions.
The goal of mediation is to help both parties understand the other's perspective. The mediator will discuss possible solutions, and hopefully help you reach a resolution for the issues that divide you.

Some courts can require parties in family court to participate in mediation. In other states, mediation is voluntary. Whether it is required, or elective ,many leave the mediation experience process knowing they had real input into the resolution of issues that will significantly impact their lives.
What Happens After Mediation?
Mediation generally ends in one of three ways. The parties reach an agreement on all of issues in their case. This clearly is a good outcome, since once agreement is reached, and there is little left for a judge to do except sign an order making it official. Another possible outcome is where the parties reach an agreement on some but not all issues. Perhaps they resolved a child custody and visitation arrangement for the school year but didn't agree on arrangements for the summer. In partial agreements, any issues not be resolved will be decided by the judge in court. The third possible outcome is an impasse. Mediation did not resolve the disagreements. In an impasse a judge will be the final decision maker.
