Better Co-Parenting

Many separating parents who have poor communication skills or who struggle with high conflict are surprised at how successful mediation can be.

Mediation doesn't treat parents as either best friends or as adversaries - instead, parents are problem solvers.

​

A mediated agreement can also be tailored to the specific needs of your family. This can be especially useful for families with special needs children or unique circumstances, such as military families or long-distance parenting plans.

Save Money

In certain cases, parties can save thousands (vs. traditional litigation) by mediating contested Family Court issues early on. Mediation is already mandatory in South Carolina Family Court cases before a trial can be scheduled. 

​

Mediation can help you end your case months or years earlier than contested litigation. You can even mediate prior to separating.

​

Save Time

Having a competent divorce mediator guide you through a process of effective communication and agreement building can translate to thousands saved in litigation fees and costs. Your Summerville Family Court mediator will help guide your discussions and minimize your distractions, keeping you both negotiating effectively and efficiently.  The more productive your discussions, the less time it takes and the less cost to you.
