Mediation is the process of negotiating to resolve the issues between two parties outside of the courtroom. In mediation, both parties come together to discuss the various issues in their family court case, including issues like alimony, division of marital assets and debts, child custody, time-sharing agreements, and child support. The goal of mediation is to arrive at a mutually acceptable agreement that settles the matters relevant to your case in terms that benefit all parties.
