Family Mediation is designed to help the parties develop a plan for continued parenting following a divorce or separation and also in cases where the parties were never married.
The mediator will help you to focus on your strengths and use those skills to promote the best interests of the children. Parents generally want to maintain control over the decisions that need to be made for their children. Mediation helps the parties to develop skills to communicate with each other to coordinate the parenting plan. The mediator will not decide who should be the “primary caretaker”. The parties themselves will make this determination after the parenting schedule is created. Family Mediators facilitate the resolution of conflict, empower both parents, improve communication, and focus on the children.
Parker Mediation can help if you have a question about primary custody, sole legal and physical custody, joint custody, or shared custody.
Part of the divorce mediation process focuses on developmental research that guides parents to make different parenting plans for infants, young children, school aged children, and adolescents. Children have different parenting needs depending on their ages, temperament and personalities. Parker Mediation focuses on the best interest of the child to assist parents in assuming their parental roles. Parker Mediation assists both parties to continue to parent post divorce. Planning your divorce with a flexible parenting plan will not only reduce your stress, but it will minimize and avoid undue stress on your kids.
