Mediation in Domestic Relations
The process of divorce or dissolution does not have to be adversarial. Many families are unaware that there is a more effective tool in coming to a full resolution with regard to property, child custody, child support and spousal support and that is Mediation. Mediation allows for the parties to meet in a neutral, safe environment to discuss all the issues in their domestic relations case without the pressure of a court environment.
The benefits of using mediation include:
Confidentiality. There is no public disclosure of what is discussed in the course of mediation;
The actual process promotes communication and cooperation between the parties in a safe environment instead of the litigious setting of a Court;
It gives control to the parties in negotiating a settlement that is best suited for the needs of their family; and
Mediation is can be more cost-effective then on-going litigation.

Mediation in Elder Law Practice
Older Adults, their families and caregivers sometimes need help making difficult decisions related to long-term care, guardianship, medical treatment, living arrangements, and financial and estate planning.
Elder mediation is a process that brings the family together to discuss difficult life decisions and come to a respectful resolution on such matters as:
Disagreements among family members over the medical care, treatment or long-term care of a parent;
Decisions on who acts as a potential guardian or conservator when a parent's decision-making ability is in question;
Conflict over the distribution of a Will or Trust;
Concerns about the quality of care that a parent is receiving in an assisted living or long-term care facility; and
Drafting a thoughtful elder plan.
