Mediation
Mediation is a confidential process in which disputing parties voluntarily agree to meet with a neutral mediator to discuss and resolve the issues that led to their dispute. Mediators do not decide an outcome, act as judges or as advocates. Mediation provides an opportunity for parties to address their differences and reach their own legally binding agreements. Mediation offers a unique and level playing field for all parties to collaborate and craft their own workable solutions. Mediation is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution.
What is Mediation?
Mediation allows you to be in control of your process and outcome. You, the parties, are the decision makers, not a judge. Mediation is a cost-effective and efficient alternative solution to an elaborate court process that can include months, or even years of costly preparation, discovery, and court appearances. We offer a confidential setting for parties to work through their disagreements and find their own solution. In just a few sessions, parties can privately and amicably resolve their dispute.
Why Mediation?
How to get started?
Once your issues are resolved to your satisfaction, Attorney Mirliani will draft the legal documents necessary to make your agreement enforceable by the Probate Court. If you are getting divorced, we will draft a Separation Agreement and the accompanying divorce documents for your review and then submission to the Probate Court. If you are entering into an agreement regarding a specific issue, such as child custody, child support or a parenting plan, then we will draft the relevant agreement for your review and execution.
