Mediation means that you have the opportunity to take control of what happens each step of the process. As your mediator, I will guide you to an outcome where nobody loses. I will not tell you what to do and I will not make decisions for you. I will share with you my experience to assist you in negotiating agreements that will be accepted by the Court and may allow you to avoid ever stepping foot in a courthouse.  

I also saw that when people set aside their emotions and took control of their lives by playing an active role in resolving their own disagreements, many great things happened. People were happier with the outcomes they helped design. Children were happier when their parents stopped going to court and instead sat down and really thought about what was best for their unique situation. People saved time and money. The need to return to court for future modifications or enforcements was greatly diminished.
