Divorce Mediation
Divorce is difficult, stressful and among the most disruptive events that can occur in your life. Mediation helps couples to work together to retain control over their lives and their future - rather than leaving it in the hands of a judge.
In mediation, decisions can be made regarding division of property, parenting arrangements, child support, spousal maintenance and ways to avoid future problems and improve communication. This is especially important when children are involved. Mediation helps couples separate their spousal role, which is ending, from their parental role, which is continuing.

Elder Care Mediation
Economic circumstances, geographic distance and complex family structures can make working together to solve an issue for an elderly parent seem all but impossible. Life-long family dynamics can add to the challenge. It's difficult times like this when Elder Care Mediation professionals can help create a comfortable environment where all can voice their feelings and concerns.
