OUR SERVICES
MEDIATION
Mediation is a voluntary process to resolve family law disputes outside of court by allowing the parties to control the outcome.
ARBITRATION
Arbitration is a voluntary process where the parties select a professional who will make decisions about the issues in dispute.
LITIGATION
Going to court is generally the least desirable way to resolve a family law dispute, but sometimes it’s the only option. Because every other method of dispute is voluntary, if one party refuses to participate then your only option is to go to court.
MEDIATION / ARBITRATION
Mediation/Arbitration (“Med/Arb”) combines the best of both worlds. The parties will first try to mediate the dispute and come to a resolution on consent.
PARENTING COORDINATION
Parenting Coordination (“PC”) is very different from Mediation and Arbitration. Rather than trying to help people resolve a dispute, PC is about trying to help people co-parent after there is a final resolution.
