What is mediation?

Mediation is a dispute resolution process through creative problem solving hosted by a neutral third party. Mediation gives the decision making process back to the parties instead of leaving it up to the judicial system to decide for you.

When is mediation appropriate?

Any time parties would like to reach a decision or resolve a dispute between themselves rather than having a court make the decision for them. This applies to divorce in which assets and debts are to be divided as well as working out parenting plans. It can be used in civil disputes to settle with another party without the expense of attorneys and court fees.

Why should you try mediation?

Where mediation has been used, it enjoys remarkably high rates of success, given its non-binding nature. Indeed, on one view, mediation never fails, even if a settlement is not reached, because the parties will always come away knowing more about the dispute and, probably, at least having narrowed the issues in question. A second factor to be taken into account is that the commitment to mediation involves a low risk.
