Mediation is voluntary intervention of an unbiased third party to assist in resolving a dispute in a way that benefits all parties involved. We focus predominantly in the field of divorce and the avenues that stem from that: Family Planning, custody, spousal support, and post-decree disagreements.

Mediation is a way to avoid litigation as part of the divorce process. By utilizing a neutral third party you can settle all matters revolving finances, family planning, and property while still giving all parties a sense of victory on the decisions made.

Mediators can come from a variety of backgrounds. In order to be state recognized you must complete coursework through a mediation training course. In the end mediators come from a variety of fields including Law, Social Work, Communications, and other backgrounds dealing with conflict resolution.

The main difference between the two is that in arbitration the third party declares a winner in the conflict. However, the goal in mediation is to create a plan that benefits both parties and their families.
