Using Mediation to Resolve Family Law Issues
Mediation can play a key role in resolving difficult family law issues. If you are in conflict with a family member and cannot resolve the matter on your own, a professional mediator can guide you to a solution that works for everyone concerned.

Types of Issues Conducive to Family Mediation
Divorce issues often lend themselves to effective mediation. These can include:
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support
- Modification of custody or support orders
There are also many other family law issues besides divorce where mediation can be a fruitful process. This can occur with issues such as:
- Care of an elderly relative
- Disputes about the distribution of estates
- Premarital or postmarital agreements for couples with blended families
Advantages of Mediation Over Litigation
A mediator will sometimes go back and forth between the parties, clarifying the issues, communicating proposals and brainstorming outside-the-box possibilities. At other times, the mediator will gather the parties together, trying to put the final touches on a mutually workable solution.
The give-and-take involved when you mediate can be very helpful in overcoming difficult issues. The flexibility tends to keep the process moving forward, rather than getting bogged down in conflict.
