Find Solutions. Move Forward. When relationships are strained by conflict – with a sibling, a neighbor, a parent, a friend – it can be hard to see a path forward. Mediation offers a way to resolve issues in a private, informal environment. A trained mediator helps structure the process and guide the participants through gathering information, presenting their views of the situation, discussing legal issues as needed, exploring the emotional, practical, and financial impacts of possible solutions, and helping the parties come to an agreement that everyone can live with. Contact us today to discuss how mediation can help you resolve conflict, find solutions, and move forward. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6c611212d240763b7443d/t/5f45c140ad8c97482040d902/1598406981434/Screen+Shot+2020-08-25+at+5.55.06+PM.png Other Mediation Services - Mediation for Non-Marital Relationships Many important long-term relationships exist outside the traditional legal structures of marriage or domestic partnership. Families separating in this context often need guidance about how to navigate financial and emotional separation with care and respect for their values, agreements, and vision for the future. You may have questions about how the law applies to your unique family situation, and wonder about what other bases for decision-making can and should be considered. In a mediation for non-marital relationships, we will work together to structure a process that fits your family and your needs. Respect for your relationships and your choices is the cornerstone of this work. The well-being of the family is best supported by a process that centers your values, grounded in a practical understanding of the emotional and financial health of each person. Where children are involved, parents will work to develop a custody/parenting plan and come to agreement about child support. Families with or without children may need assistance making decisions about ownership of joint property, who will live where going forward, what ongoing contact with extended family members will look like, and other issues. Contact us to discuss your needs and how we can help your family navigate this transition successfully. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6c611212d240763b7443d/t/5f45c1270b77e63bd6051023/1598406955502/Screen+Shot+2020-08-25+at+5.55.10+PM.png Other Mediation Services - Post-Divorce Mediation and Consulting A divorce decree or settlement is the end of one journey, and the beginning of another. Co-parenting requires patience and practice, as well as a willingness to put kids’ needs first as you navigate change, resolve disagreements and seek solutions that will work for everyone. Returning to a facilitated mediation process can help provide structure and support for these conversations. As children get older, their needs change and for some families it may be necessary to revisit and rework parenting plans and agreements. Career and financial shifts can require changes in support. Blended families and step-parent relationships present new issues and bring new voices into the conversation. Respectful facilitated communication can help get everyone on the same page and put your children’s well-being at the center of decision-making. https://resolveforward.com/about daily 0.75 2020-08-28 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6c611212d240763b7443d/t/5f4014c9ef3d942a3e935d93/1598404946406/Alison_Beck_2020_002.jpg About https://resolveforward.com/divorce-mediation daily 0.75 2020-08-26 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6c611212d240763b7443d/t/5f45b82376e6b5184653098e/1598034916270/ Divorce Mediation - Co-parenting plans that put kids at the center. Focusing on resolving disputes rather than “fighting it out” supports the emotional well-being of the entire family, shielding children from the devastating effects of high-conflict divorce and allowing the parties to move forward into what is next for them. In mediation, parents are encouraged to focus on their children’s well-being and to practice new communication patterns that form a solid basis for healthy co-parenting. Couples who separate in a process consistent with their values have better long-term relationships with their children, are more effective co-parents, and are happier in their own lives. . https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6c611212d240763b7443d/t/5f45b82376e6b51846530991/1598035003667/ Divorce Mediation - Preserve family assets by finding common ground. When one household becomes two, expenses go up and assets and income are stretched thin. In the midst of this difficult process, people experiencing the hurt and pain of separation often “set their money on fire” by hiring aggressive attorneys who pursue high-conflict divorce litigation. Many years and hundreds of thousands of dollars later, the hurt is only worsened and the family is in an even more difficult financial and emotional situation. Mediation is an effective alternative to this cycle of conflict, encouraging the parties to resolve conflict and focus on efficiently developing workable solutions for property division and support to move forward with their lives. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6c611212d240763b7443d/t/5f45b82376e6b5184653098b/1598034734255/ Divorce Mediation - Agreements that last, because they work for everyone. Mediation is a private, informal way to find agreements that everyone can live with – outside of court and without the years of conflict, stress, and high attorneys’ fees that go along with litigation. A trained mediator helps structure the process and guide the parties through each step: gathering information, discussing the legal issues as needed, exploring the emotional and financial impacts of possible solutions, and helping the parties come to an agreement that works for each of them. Parties are able to customize solutions to meet their needs rather than being constrained by the limited options available in court. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ed6c611212d240763b7443d/t/5f45b82376e6b51846530993/1598048444805/ Divorce Mediation - Is Mediation Right for You? Mediation works for parties who want to reach an agreement without going to court, and who are willing to commit to a good faith effort to do so. Both parties must be willing to share relevant information and to communicate with each other in the process. Even very complicated issues can be resolved through mediation, and outside professionals (such as valuation experts, tax professionals, or parenting specialists) can be brought in to provide additional expertise as needed. Although mediation is a great choice for many families, there are other process options that may be a better fit for some circumstances. Discuss your situation with potential mediators or collaborative attorneys to ensure that the process is tailored to fit your family’s needs. All mediation sessions are currently conducted via videoconference.
