Child-Centered Mediation

Resolving Family Disputes with theBest Intersets of Your Children in Mind

Child-Centered Mediation focuses on helping parents resolve family conflicts in a way that prioritizes the well-being of their children. This process begins with an initial review, where the mediator assesses the specific needs of your family and explains the child-centered mediation process. This ensures that we fully understand your situation and can create a plan that supports your child’s best interests. Once the process is clarified, we facilitate discussions and help both parents agree on decisions about parenting time, living arrangements, education, and other matters that affect the child’s future. Our goal is to create a fair, balanced, and child-focused agreement that promotes harmony in your family.

If both parents agree, the child can make an appearance with the mediator present to share their wishes and thoughts in a safe and supportive environment. This allows the child to have a voice in the process, further ensuring that their needs are considered.
