What is Mediation?

mediation

Mediation is a process of dispute resolution in which a neutral third party, the mediator, facilitates communication between the parties to help them reach a mutually acceptable agreement. The mediator does not decide the outcome of the dispute, but rather helps the parties to identify their interests, explore options, and reach a voluntary agreement. Mediation is a voluntary process and the parties can choose to end the process at any time. Mediation is often used in family law matters, such as divorce, child custody, and support, but can also be used in other types of disputes, such as business, employment, and landlord-tenant disputes. Mediation is a confidential process and the mediator is not allowed to disclose any information discussed during the mediation without the parties’ consent. Mediation is often less expensive and time-consuming than litigation, and can help the parties to maintain a better relationship with each other.
