Mediators can help families deal with many types of conflicts, marital separation and divorce issues, as well as intergeneration conflict, senior care decisions, and disputes involving estates.

WE BELIEVE FAMILIES ARE BEST SERVED by using mediators trained to deal with the issues at hand. We also believe that in marital disputes, CHILDREN COME FIRST and their issues should be given priority in any mediation service.

FAMILY RELATIONS MEDIATORS typically have a background in counseling and child development, and can assist families with
• parenting issues after separation and divorce

FINANCIAL FAMILY MEDIATORS usually have a legal background and can deal with
• financial issues of child and spousal support after separation
