What is Family Tailored Mediation?
Mediation is a legal alternative or complement to litigation that involves working with a neutral third party to resolve legal conflicts. The mediator works to bridge the gap between two parties by helping facilitate negotiations and craft solutions that work for everyone involved.
Family Tailored Mediation seeks to create a more holistic process that includes personalized timelines, open communication, peaceful resolution, and manageable legal expenses.

Personalized Timelines |
Open Communication |
When a case goes to court, disputed issues can become a battle that can drag on for months or even years. Both parties will spend significant time in a courtroom environment that has a long lasting impact on a family unit.
Family Tailored Mediation is a customized mediation process that allows you to work on your issues according to your own timeline, which grants you the freedom to take as much or as little time as you need to do research, have discussions, or even just process proposed solutions without the pressure to make an immediate decision. It also allows you to address concerns as they arise, which, when handled effectively, can add to the feelings of forward movement, which helps cases settle even faster. |
Open communication is essential in allowing a family to focus on what is most important - the family as a whole. Every family had different needs. Your process needs to work for your family - not against it.
With a customized mediation process, a knowledgeable professional will work with you to explore the specific issues that are important to you and your family. Having a neutral person present options, solutions, and thoughts to consider that encompass the wants and needs of everyone involved helps to ensure that the outcome is something that everyone can agree on and can adhere to. In this way, it is a more participatory process with self-selected results. |
Peaceful Resolutions |
Reduction of Legal Expenses |
When courts make decisions in a legal matter, they rely on statutes, case law, and a range of other factors to determine the outcome. While courts strive to be fair and impartial, the truth is that they don’t know your family personally. They have little insight into your goals and wishes.
Mediation, on the other hand, allows you to focus on specific issues and consider what kind of resolution would best meet the needs of both parties. This allows for you as parties to consider the "what-if" scenarios and allows for long-term solutions. |
Let's face it - court cases can come with a high price tag.
Mediation can offer a more affordable option. When families can work together to come to a solution, they can often reach agreement more quickly. |
