Mediation is a structured settlement process that allows parties involved in a legal dispute to come together with a neutral third party (the mediator) to reach a mutually agreeable resolution outside of the courtroom. Mediation is often required by the courts before a case can go to trial.

In mediation, the mediator facilitates communication between the parties and helps them to identify their goals and interests. The mediator does not have the power to force the parties to agree to anything, but they can help the parties to find creative solutions that meet their needs.

​

Mediation can offer a number of benefits, including:

• Reduced cost: Mediation is generally less expensive than litigation.

• Reduced time: Mediation can be completed more quickly than litigation.

• Increased control: The parties have more control over the outcome of the mediation process.

• Flexibility: Mediation allows the parties to be more creative in their solutions.

• Better relationships: Mediation can help the parties to repair their relationship, if possible.

• ​

Mediation is often used in family and domestic matters, such as divorce, child custody, and child support. In these cases, mediation can help the parties to reach an agreement that is in the best interests of their children.
