Mediation
Mediation Services
Mediation is a process that can help parties avoid stressful and expensive litigation. Mediation is effective prior to a divorce process, as well as resolving conflict post-divorce, especially when dealing with child custody issues. This process is meant to reach a voluntary and collaborative solution. Family courts typically mandate mediation and reaching out to an experienced mediator prior to initiating litigation can help resolve your conflict outside of the courtroom.

Mediation is becoming a popular and useful resource for divorcing couples and child custody disputes in Maryland. This process can help save time, money, reduce stress and help parties preserve their relationship to effectively co-parent moving forward. Mediation allows parties to take control of their situation and reach resolutions and compromise on topics that a Judge would otherwise decide.
