The benefits of mediation may include:

• Faster resolution

• Lower cost vs. traditional litigation

• Higher rate of compliance with agreements

• Improved co-parenting and less conflict

• Agreements tailored to your family

• Greater control over the outcome of your case

• Better predictability about what will happen

• Personal empowerment- you decide, not a judge

​

The goal of mediation is to help YOU reach an agreement. 

​

A Summerville divorce mediation firm, we bring a thoughtful, child-centered, equitable approach to resolving divorce and family law disputes. Mediation can be an alternative to contested litigation, or, in some circumstances, can help resolve contested cases in a more efficient way. Our goal is to help you part ways respectfully, while minimizing time, stress, and expense.  

​

Mediation is a private, confidential, decision-making process in which an impartial facilitator (mediator), helps both sides reach a solution to their problem that both parties can accept. The mediator does not take sides, and all decisions are made by the parties themselves.  If no decision is reached, the parties are free to go to court. 

​

Divorce mediation can be one of the most cost-effective means of ending a marriage, if both parties are committed to the mediation process. Family mediation can also be a valuable tool for helping unmarried parents reach an agreement about will happen with regards to their children, as well as any other issues that need to be resolved once the relationship ends, such as child support. Mediation is also required in nearly all South Carolina Family Court cases.

​

Common issues that can be addressed at family mediation include child custody, visitation, child support, private school expenses, alimony and spousal support, and property and debt division, including use of the home, vehicles, and bank accounts.
