A Predictable, Safe, and Transparent Roadmap
Mediation should never feel ambiguous. Every file follows a structured, supportive 8-step lifecycle designed to move your family safely from initial inquiry to final legal review.
Inquiry + Conflict Check
Initial reach-out to confirm basic service fit and clear any professional conflicts of interest before moving forward.
Confidential Consult
A brief 15-minute introductory call to understand your scope, answer questions, and assess mutual file suitability.
Individual Screening
Private, separate meetings to assess safety, power balance, and ensure decision-making readiness for all parties.
Case Design Decision
Selecting the most appropriate session format (joint, shuttle, or hybrid) along with necessary procedural safeguards.
Agreement to Mediate
Reviewing and signing the operational agreement establishing session confidentiality, ground rules, and neutrality.
Mediation Sessions
Agenda-driven, interest-based dialogue designed to move conversations out of gridlock and into workable agreements.
Draft Documentation
Tentative outcomes and agreements documented clearly in a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for legal review.
Closure & Next Steps
Formalizing file completion, encouraging Independent Legal Advice (ILA) review, and establishing clear follow-through.
