Mediation & Family Dispute Resolution
Mediation is a process that helps two people resolve their disputes. It is facilitated by an independent, impartial and nonjudgmental third party.
- Online mediation is as effective as face-to-face, is more flexible and generally less costly.
- Joint mediation, where parties can discuss issues directly, can take place face-to-face, via video conference, or by telephone.
- Shuttle mediation involves the mediator passing information between two parties who do not see or speak with each other. This can be done via email, phone or videoconference.
