Family Law Mediation
Mediation is one form of dispute resolution that people are able to use to try and solve their family law issues. Mediation can be used to address family law issues such as property division, child custody, child guardianship, access to the children as well as address issues dealing with child support and spousal support. Mediation is often a very good option for parties who wish to solve their issues in an amicable manner. Parties that engage in the mediation process will often use the services of a lawyer to ensure that proper legal advice is provided through the entire mediation process.
When using mediation to solve family law issues a qualified family law mediator is often used. The benefit of using a qualified family law mediator is that a qualified family law mediator has special training that can be used to specifically address this area of the law.
The benefit of mediation as a means for parties to come to an agreed upon solution to their problems is that with mediation the parties have input into how they wish for their issues to be resolved. Parties are able to articulate how each party wishes to address and resolve the outstanding issues. Another benefit of mediation is that mediation is often less costly than going to court. Mediation often results in a resolution to the family law dispute far quicker than a resolution would be obtained through the court process.
Mediation is voluntary and prior to entering into mediation both parties usually agree that they will use their best efforts to resolve their family law dispute through mediation.
