Mediation is available for both Court ordered and voluntary alternative dispute resolution. Parenting Partnerships mediates only cases involving families with children where co-parenting matters are the primary issue. We use only trained mediators who have met the minimum criteria for family mediation. Parties are encouraged to discuss the mediation with their attorneys prior to signing the final agreement. We welcome attorneys to participate in the mediation process. While property and other issues can be resolved in mediation, parents often desire to have an effective parenting plan. To assist in developing plans, we encourage parents to visit our forms page.

We have found that families that have attended coparenting education have a greater success rate, better follow-through, feel more empowered, and utilize their mediation time more effectively. Completion of the Children in the Middle is strongly recommended prior to mediation.

Fees for mediation are $150.00 per hour. To request a mediation appointment please complete an intake form and fax (or email) the fully completed form along with a copy of the order for mediation back to us.
