Child Custody Mediation
Child Custody Mediation
Conflict over the custody of a child and the resulting distress and tension can be life-altering. If the parties cannot agree on a shared custody plan they must go to court and then abide by a court-ordered schedule. When this occurs, it is quite likely that neither of the parents will be satisfied with the judgement. The parental enmity that may develop over the years will have a negative impact on the child.
Whenever possible, child custody Mediation is far more preferable to a courtroom decision. Mediation is the crucial step in guaranteeing the well-being and best interests of the child and the parents. An experienced family law Attorney Mediator will facilitate negotiation so that both parties can listen to one another’s concerns while avoiding conflict.

Why Child Custody Mediation Is In The Best Interest of Your Child
Before litigating child custody, the court requires parents to try and agree through mediation. An agreed custody arrangement is less destructive to the child emotionally than a bitterly fought outcome. In a trial, there will be a winner and a loser. This sad outcome and the financial cost and emotional turmoil of arguing in court can be avoided through Mediation.
