Description
Family mediation gets parents talking through mediation in order to address the best interests of the child. Mediation is an agreement-reaching process that is collaborative and consensual by both parties, with the aim to establish mutually acceptable guidelines on parenting practices.
The mediator remains neutral and impartial in order to facilitate this process.
The outcome is a mutually agreed upon parenting plan which serves the best interests of the child:
• A parenting plan is a written document that outlines how parents will raise their child after separation or divorce.
• It describes the parenting arrangements that have been negotiated through mediation.
• A parenting plan can help reduce conflict between parents by setting out the clear guidelines and expectations negotiated through the mediation process.
• A parenting plan should reflect the best interests and needs of the child.
Parenting plan negotiation may cover:
• Communication between parents
• Living arrangements
• Contact arrangements
• Holidays
• Special occasions
• Education
• Extra-curricular activities
• Cultural and religious matters
• Travel
• Maintenance
And any other issues unique to the family.
