What Is Mediation?

Mediation is a process in which disputing parties work with a neutral third-party professional—known as a mediator—to reach mutually acceptable agreements. Unlike litigation, which can be adversarial, mediation is a collaborative process that empowers individuals to retain control over decisions regarding their family’s future.

As a trusted mediation attorney, Leona Krasner provides a structured yet flexible environment where both parties can communicate openly and explore creative solutions that address their specific concerns. Mediation is often a preferred choice for those seeking to avoid the emotional and financial toll of court proceedings.

Why Choose Mediation?

Mediation offers numerous benefits, making it an appealing option for resolving family law issues:

Cost-Effective: Mediation is typically less expensive than litigation since it avoids lengthy court battles.
Faster Resolutions: Cases resolved through mediation often take less time than those litigated in court.
Confidentiality: Unlike public court records, mediation proceedings are private.
Control and Flexibility: Mediation allows parties to shape their own agreements rather than having decisions imposed by a judge.
Reduced Conflict: By fostering open communication, mediation helps minimize hostility and stress.

Additional Mediation Features

Confidentiality: Mediation keeps family matters private, unlike public court proceedings.
Customized Solutions: Each mediation session is tailored to the unique needs of the family, ensuring personalized and practical outcomes.

What to Expect During Mediation

The Benefits of a Collaborative Approach

At Krasner Law, we provide comprehensive mediation services for a variety of family law matters:

Prenuptial and Separation Agreements

Planning for the future is an important step in any relationship, and mediation can make this process smoother and more collaborative.

Prenuptial Agreements: Mediation helps couples discuss and outline financial arrangements, asset protection, and expectations in a fair and transparent manner before marriage.
Separation Agreements: For couples considering separation, mediation assists in creating agreements that cover temporary arrangements for finances, living situations, and child-related matters.

By addressing these sensitive topics in a constructive and open forum, mediation fosters mutual understanding and reduces potential conflict down the road.

Post-Divorce Modifications

Life evolves, and so do the needs of families. Post-divorce mediation is an invaluable tool for resolving disputes that arise as circumstances change.

Spousal Support Adjustments: Changes in income, employment, or financial obligations may require renegotiation of alimony agreements.
Child Support Modifications: Mediation provides a forum to address changes in a child’s needs or parental financial situations.
Custody and Visitation Updates: Whether due to relocations, changing schedules, or other life events, mediation allows for amicable updates to custody and visitation arrangements.

Post-divorce mediation ensures that agreements remain relevant and practical, reducing the need for contentious court proceedings.

Child Custody Mediation

When it comes to child custody, emotions often run high. Mediation provides a safe, neutral space for parents to focus on what matters most—their children’s well-being.

Custody Agreements: We work with parents to establish clear guidelines for physical and legal custody, balancing responsibilities and creating a supportive environment for the children.
Visitation Schedules: Mediation helps craft detailed and flexible visitation arrangements that work for both parents while ensuring stability for the children.
Decision-Making Responsibilities: Mediation allows parents to discuss and agree upon how decisions about education, healthcare, and other key areas will be handled collaboratively.

This child-focused approach encourages cooperation, reduces conflict, and builds a foundation for effective co-parenting.
