PRINCIPLES OF MEDIATION
- Conflict is inevitable; it is in everyone's best interest to learn to manage it
constructively and creatively.
- Separation, divorce, remarriage, and blending families are normal processes for many
people.
- The primary tasks of family mediation are to assist in restructuring relationships and
to negotiate issues related to divorce, such as parenting and child support.
|
| Too often
conflict leads to litigation. The result? Legal costs that spiral out of control,
embittered participants and dissatisfaction with a court-enforced solution. In contrast,
"alternate dispute resolution" avoids the legal costs of litigation while
providing creative, informal solutions that are acceptable to all the participants. |
