When it comes to resolving family disputes, mediation can be a helpful solution. Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method that involves a neutral third-party mediator who facilitates communication and negotiation between parties in conflict. In Newport, Family Mediation Service offers families a supportive environment to resolve their disputes through the mediation process.
Mediation Process Overview The mediation process typically involves the following steps:
- Initial Consultation – The first step in the mediation process is to schedule an initial consultation with Family Mediation Service. During this consultation, the mediator will explain the mediation process, answer any questions, and determine if mediation is suitable for the situation.
- Mediation Sessions – Once both parties agree to proceed with mediation, the mediator schedules the mediation sessions. During the sessions, the mediator facilitates the discussion between the parties to identify issues, generate options, and reach an agreement.
- Agreement – Once both parties have agreed on the terms, the mediator drafts a written agreement that outlines the agreed-upon terms. The parties review and sign the agreement, which becomes legally binding.
