      Mediation is a neutral, private, confidential, and voluntary process for diffusing conflict and settling disputes. A divorce mediator is a specialized mediator in the issues of divorce. The mediator does not make decisions for you and is not required to apply the law; rather the divorce mediator is a neutral participant who provides the necessary skills to facilitate communication and helps the parties identify and uncover all the issues including division of property, child custody and the parenting plan, as well as spousal and/or child support, needed for a complete settlement to be presented to the court.
      A mediator may suggest the use of other professionals depending on the needs of their clients, including but not limited to advice of independent or joint counsel, therapists, financial planners, legal document assistants, or your own professional teams.
