Mediation is the alternative to a litigated divorce. With the help of a trained mediator couples address, negotiate and reach agreements on all the issues involved in a separation or divorce. This includes child custody, child support, a post separation parenting plan, spousal support, and division of assets and liabilities. Once the mediation is completed, an Agreement is drawn up that is specifically tailored to meet the needs of each individual.
