Mediation is a way to help families come up with child arrangements that benefit everyone. Our expert mediators at Family Mediation Choice can help you navigate this process with ease.
When parents separate, one of the biggest concerns is how to create child arrangements that work for everyone involved. It’s not easy, especially when emotions are running high and communication is strained. This is where mediation can help. Mediation is a process where a neutral third party, the mediator, helps parents communicate and come up with a plan that works for everyone. In this article, we’ll explore how mediation can help create positive child arrangements.
Mediation is a process where a trained and neutral third party, the mediator, helps parents who are separating or divorcing come up with a plan for their children’s care. The mediator’s role is to facilitate communication and help parents identify the issues that need to be resolved. The mediator is not there to take sides or make decisions for the parents, but rather to help them come up with their own solutions.
There are several advantages to using family mediation to create child arrangements:
Less stressful: Mediation can be less stressful than going to court, which can be a long and drawn-out process.
More control: With mediation, parents have more control over the outcome. They are the ones who come up with the solutions, rather than having a judge make decisions for them.
More flexibility: Mediation allows for more flexibility in terms of the arrangements that can be made. Parents can come up with a plan that works for their unique situation, rather than being restricted by court rules.
Better communication: Mediation can improve communication between parents, which can be especially important when it comes to co-parenting.
Cost-effective: Family mediation can be more cost-effective than going to court, as it usually takes less time and involves fewer professionals.
The mediation process usually starts with an initial meeting between the mediator and each parent separately. This allows the mediator to understand each parent’s perspective and identify any issues that need to be resolved. After the initial meetings, the mediator will schedule a joint meeting with both parents. During this meeting, the mediator will facilitate communication and help the parents come up with a plan for their child arrangements. If necessary, the mediator may schedule additional meetings to address any remaining issues.
