Mediation:

The two parties meet voluntarily with the attorney/mediator and the objective is to help the parties themselves reach a fair agreement.  It is understood that the mediator has no power to decide disputed issues for the parties, but the mediator will be able to point out the law.

 The mediator does not represent either party.

The goal of mediation is to settle as many issues as possible, keeping the whole family’s best interests in mind.
