Description
Offers the following dispute resolution services:
- Mediation - Mediation can be a less expensive alternative to litigation. Typically mediation occurs between both parents and a neutral mediator.
- Parenting Coordination - Parenting coordination is a child-centered option for resolving common or day-to-day conflicts between divorced parents. Not only does this service help resolve disputes between parents without the need to go to court, it also gives parents tools and techniques to work together and find child-focused solutions to their conflicts.
- Neutral Evaluation - The goal of neutral evaluation is to improve communication between disputing parties and provide everyone with a better understanding of important issues. During this process, a neutral expert assesses the case and works to understand each party.
