Be the Parent or Partner Who Finds Peace Without Court
Family mediation helps you move forward with clarity, privacy, and peace of mind.
When relationships change, the legal process can feel overwhelming. Mediation offers a calm, structured alternative. Instead of stepping into a courtroom, you can work through difficult topics in a private setting and create agreements that fit your family's future.
Whether you're navigating divorce, building a parenting plan, or dividing property, mediation helps reduce conflict and bring clarity—without the cost, pressure, or unpredictability of litigation.
In many cases, mediation is required before a hearing in front of a judge. Our goal is to help you resolve as much as possible ahead of time—so you can move forward with greater control and fewer legal expenses.
Common topics include:
- Parenting plans and co-parenting schedules
- Child support calculations and shared expenses
- Division of assets, property, and debt
- Spousal support (if applicable)
- Post-divorce communication or planning
Whether you resolve everything or just some of the issues, mediation helps reduce what needs to be addressed in court.
At Heart Centered Mediation, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to make major decisions during a time of emotional stress. That’s why we guide the process with care, helping both parties communicate clearly, stay focused, and reach agreements they can live with.
We provide a safe space where both parties can speak openly, feel heard, and focus on workable solutions. We don’t take sides or impose decisions. Instead, our role is to guide the process, help you communicate more effectively, and explore realistic, interest-based options.
Sessions can be held jointly or privately (as needed) to ensure the conversation remains balanced and productive.
Confidential sessions without a public courtroom
Often faster and more affordable than litigation
You decide, rather than having a judge impose an outcome
Designed to reduce conflict, not escalate it
Especially important when children are involved
What happens during a court hearing becomes part of the public record. That means one day, your child could request access to everything filed in court. Mediation offers a more private, respectful alternative—one that protects not just your child’s future but their peace of mind.
