Best Mediation Services provides mediation and alternative dispute resolution services to parties involved in a family law matter, such as a divorce, parenting time disputes, or changes to child support. 

Family law mediation is a method of resolving issues and disputes during the difficult time of divorce by talking with a mediator to resolve your disagreements. Mediation is conducted in a relaxed, comfortable office atmosphere with the mediator and the parties. Family law mediation can also be used to help persons with other legal family issues such as separation, child custody, child support, post decree modifications, disputes about parenting issues after a divorce, domestic partnership issues with children and property, and unmarried persons issues with children and property. There are a myriad of issues and problems that may confront people when they are attempting to navigate the emotional terrain of family law.

Best Mediation is designed to be a win-win solution for the parties involved. Parties do not need to have a retained attorney that represents their interests but outside counsel is certainly not discouraged. However, it is recommended that an attorney review any final legal documents before they are signed or filed with the court.

In addition to conducting the mediation, Best Mediation Services can complete your family law matter by drafting all the necessary documents to be submitted to the court.  We can draft a memorandum of understanding to memorialize the parties' agreements, draft the petition and supporting documents to initiate your case in the court, and draft and file the consent decree, parenting plan, and property settlement agreement to finalize your case.

Not Even the Winners Win in Litigation.

A learned judge once said that no one wins in court. What he meant by his statement is that the family loses control of the decisions and it is extremely expensive.  Instead of spending money on two separate attorneys, mediation allows the parties to pay for one mediator to resolve all of the issues in the case.  In addition, if the parties initially retain two separate attorneys, the court may still order the parties to attempt mediation before there is a trial.  Best Mediation Services welcomes parties who are represented by counsel as well as parties who are unrepresented.  Attempting mediation before courtroom litigation will save the parties time and money.
