Introduction Mediation is a process of dispute resolution that involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps parents in a child decision making dispute to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. Mediation is a valuable alternative to going to court, as it allows parents to work together to develop a plan that is in the best interest of the child. Here are some key points to keep in mind regarding mediation in child decision making disputes:
Voluntary Process Mediation is a voluntary process, which means that both parties must agree to participate.
Confidentiality Mediation sessions are confidential. Anything that is discussed during mediation cannot be used in court if the mediation does not result in an agreement.
Benefits Mediation help parents to communicate more effectively, reduce hostility and conflict, and develop a plan that meets the needs of their child.
Costs The costs of mediation vary depending on the mediator and the length of the mediation sessions. Mediation is generally less expensive than going to court
Conclusion Mediation is a valuable tool for parents in a child custody dispute. It allows them to work together to develop a plan that is in the best interest of their child, while also avoiding the cost and stress of going to court.
