North Canton Mediation Lawyer

Mediation uses a third-party neutral to facilitate the resolution of a dispute. Mediation can be utilized as an alternative to court or can be utilized even during a traditional litigated divorce. Mediation is most useful when people want:

• To avoid a long drawn-out court battle
• An impartial person to assist them in finding solutions
• A long-lasting resolution
• To find common ground when it comes to children or other issues
• To solve their conflict while retaining their dignity
• To save money

Skilled Mediators Offer Creative Legal Solutions

For those who want to step away from the court process, but who need help because they disagree as to child support, spousal support, custody, visitation, property division, etc., there is mediation. A trained mediator is a neutral party who does not represent either side. The mediator helps both parties get creative to reach a consensus. The mediator is not permitted to give legal advice, and the parties’ attorneys usually do not participate in the mediation sessions themselves.
