Family Mediation Services in Burlington
Not every separation or family law disagreement needs to be resolved in a courtroom.
Family mediation provides separating spouses or partners with an opportunity to discuss their issues with the assistance of a neutral mediator.
The mediator helps facilitate productive discussion, identify the issues that need to be resolved and explore possible solutions. The parties themselves remain responsible for the decisions they make.
For suitable cases, mediation may provide a more cooperative and less adversarial way to address family law issues while allowing both individuals to have a voice in the process.

Mediation may not be suitable in every situation. The circumstances of each family should be considered when determining the appropriate process.
