Grandparent Mediation: The Benefits

DO I HAVE ANY RIGHTS?

Preserves Relationships: Mediation nurtures open communication for families leading to better understanding and positive outcomes for all parties involved. It is important to maintain a good relationship and avoid conflicts and court battles over access and childcare that can cause distress to your grandchildren, and yourselves.
Cost-Efficient: Legal battles are expensive and time-consuming. By opting for mediation, you save money that can be better spent on making memories and building bonds with your grandkids.
Flexible and Convenient: Mediation is far more adaptable to individual family situations and family members, providing a unique and tailored solution that fits the needs of all parties involved.
Confidential and Private: Unlike court settlements, the family mediator protects your family’s privacy during this sensitive period, enabling you to focus on the child’s best interests rebuilding relationships without the glare of the public eye.
