OUR FOCUS IN FAMILY MEDIATION & PAARENTING COORDINATION: on RESOLUTION of family and parenting disputes
By the parties themselves, in a comfortable, neutral setting
Family Mediation gives parties an opportunity to craft their own settlement, to make their own decisions - together, as opposed to having those decisions made for them by others, including judges.
At a comfortable pace, in a voluntary, confidential process
The parties themselves and the mediator control the pace of the mediation. The fact that the mediation process is voluntary and confidential means that the parties can have truly meaningful, constructive discussions and negotiations, without fear that what they say will later be repeated in court.
Through informed, moderated dialogue based on the principle of self-determination
Family Mediation is a process that involves full disclosure, so the parties are bargaining from balanced positions and can see all cards on the table as they negotiate. They come to the dialogue voluntarily, and the pre-mediation screening process ensures, to the greatest extent possible, that they do so.
At reasonable, shared cost
Family Mediation is generally more affordable than court. The mediator’s costs are shared by the parties. With focused effort of all involved, and commitment to progress and settlement, the mediation sessions can be productive and constructive.
With the assistance of a neutral mediator, skilled at directing productive dialogue
As a skilled, neutral mediator, AJ is able to assist the parties in their dialogue: - with the aim of making it balanced, productive, constructive and based on the principle of self-determination. Emotion does came into the dialogue more often than not - AJ is able to help the parties navigate through difficult moments and discussions.
Based on a process uniquely suited to the dispute and the parties
AJ takes no cookie-cutter approaches to Family Mediation. Every couple coming to her for assistance is unique - as is their dispute. She manages the mediation process in a way that responds to each person’s unique needs, and takes into account the couple’s dynamics and communication styles.
