What is Family Law Mediation?

Family Mediation is a private often faster and more affordable alternative to litigation. In family mediation proceedings, family issues are presented and addressed by a neutral family mediator who helps the parties find suitable solutions to their problems rather than continuing conflicts. The mediator can also call for other professionals such as relationship counsellors for emotional support, mental health and parenting. The primary objective of family mediation is to resolve the parties disputes in a personalized, cooperative, agreeable and respectful manner. Call us to know more about our alternative dispute redressal mechanisms.

 

Who Is Family Law Mediation For?

Family mediation is for families who agree to settle their disputes in a mutually respectful manner. It is a voluntary process in which the concerned parties strive to find a solution rather than confront one another. The goal of family mediation is to make sepration and disputes as painless as possible for all parties involved. The process entails that all the parties sit down in a neutral environment to work on their family issues productively.

 

What is Estate Mediation?

Estate mediation is a process where a neutral third party, known as a mediator, helps family members or other interested parties resolve disputes related to the distribution of a deceased person's assets. The goal of estate mediation is to reach a mutually agreeable solution that is satisfactory to all parties involved, without the need for expensive and time-consuming litigation.
