Why Use Family Mediation Center?

Family litigation is generally very expensive, combative, slow and often-times emotionally damaging to the parties and especially to any children involved in the case.

The litigation approach of resolving cases through expensive court hearings and/or trial fails to produce the best results for the family. The decision-making process is taken out of the hands of the clients and surrendered to a Judge who may not have ever met with the clients or spoken to them directly. Consequently, the Court may not fully appreciate the individual needs of the parties and their personal goals.

Clients should understand that almost all family law cases will eventually settle by agreement. It is the mediator’s primary goal, with the direct involvement of the parties, to move toward settlement of their case through open, swift and deliberate negotiation. Mediation works to resolve the points of conflict as fairly and as economically as possible with the full input and cooperation of the parties and at their direction.
