Litigation ("going to court") is the traditional approach to family law disputes. Litigation has long been criticized for the huge emotional and financial cost that it often exacts from parents and their
children.

Under current law parties can (and often do) choose mediation over litigation.

Mediation - unlike litigation - is an attempt to find a solution that both parents can agree to.

The mediator assists the parents to directly work out problems and often find enduring solutions.

The mediator does not take the place of your own lawyer - each party’s lawyer will scrutinize the agreement.

Mediation is no longer the wave of the future - it has arrived!

At Progressive Mediation, you to can find out at no cost just what mediation has to offer.
